Description

Traffic and residential areas seem distant as the path leads deep into the darkness of the forest. Rough, scraggly trunks, hanging lichen-draped branches and fallen trees create an intriguing and magical world. The blueberry bushes cover the ground with a shimmering green carpet.

Häftigt att ha en sån urskog så nära stan. Så enkelt att bara slinka in där och känna skillnaden från övriga skogar. Var där med våra mullebarn och gjorde upptäckter förra hösten.
