Comments

  • It is not worth to visit this place
  • I disagree. It is well worth seeing!
  • Now is the time if you are looking for the "blues"
  • Especially now, it's worth going when the hyacinths are blooming. It is a rare sensation. For nature lovers, it's worth to go all year through. For people without a clue about nature it's maybe not worth to visit
  • Very beautiful forest with a bluish tint in summer.
