These woods almost feel like something from another age. The tree trunks stretch far into the sky and the forest floor is covered in ivy and soft moss.

Even the little river that runs through the woods has a name worthy of a fairytale – Amethyst Brook.

The first waterfall on the White Trail can be reached by following the path over relatively flat terrain. It’s a beautiful cascade that makes for a lovely picnic spot.
