“I was familiar with the abbey, but it is also surrounded by an impressive variety of nature. High marshlands, caves and streams, peat bogs and the pond are just some of the treasures I would never have thought of finding here. What a pleasure to discover the nature trail that winds its way between the marshes and the nature reserve. I stopped near to the pond, which was rippling in the light breeze. There was not the slightest sound to disturb the silence.”
