If you need a quick fix of nature, explore the paths around here. 8 minutes from our house and you'll be in the most beautiful nature! If you have time to follow the paths further up the mountain for a longer hike there are some beautiful boardwalk paths and indigenous forests. But just exploring around the bottom also offers great views and sights.
