Relaxed hiking and sleeping in the middle of the forest! Let's enjoy this day. 12 kilometers and just under 300 meters in altitude give us a leisurely day of hiking. We'll spend the night in the middle of the forest tonight. But don't worry - we won't be sleeping in a tent, we won't need to heat up canned soup and we won't have to fend off wild boars. Hiker-friendly hotels in the middle of the forest are inviting.
