Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage

Visitors can stroll along well-marked trails that meander through ancient trees and wide lawns, offering a perfect setting for leisurely walks, picnics, and wildlife observation. The variety of bird species and small mammals visible in the park adds to its appeal for nature lovers.
