I've fallen in love with Sonian Forest. That's no news! This huge ancient, Carpathians jungle filled the birch trees primarily and hundreds of other species of trees and thousands of species of fauna, its a mesmerizing magical place to be!
Last time, we followed a RouteYou map and it was just splendid. This time I wanted to check-off 2 different places inside Sonian, so I planned a route by myself. One of the places was the huge Sequoia trees and another was the Chateau de la Hulpe. Sonian Forest is the home of 17 humongous Sequoia trees. 5 of those 17 are located close to each other at one point and I wished to check that point.
To Get There:
