Preview

Have you noticed the neat stacks of oak firewood along the village paths? The houses here still use the traditional underfloor heating system. Oak firewood is burned directly in a hearth to warm the stone floors of the rooms. Take a slow stroll through the alleys, where the subtle scent of wood and a warm floor await.

You will get more out of this village by just walking around and taking it all in, rather than closely following a guide. Treat these stories like comfortable background music, and simply enjoy the moment.
