It features an extensive network of walking paths that connect the town center to the surrounding highland forest. The area is equipped with public seating and infrastructure for outdoor recreation.

Insider tips

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes to manage the sloped, unpaved forest paths.

Bring a light jacket even in summer, as the temperature drops significantly once you move under the dense pine canopy.

Attempting to drive personal vehicles deep into the forest trails; parking is restricted to designated areas at the park perimeter.
