Why you should visit it
Don’t be surprised if you stumble across some bones on the ground – they tend to surface when the snow starts to disappear. Covering an area just under four square kilometres, it has a disturbingly serene feel which makes for a spooky walking experience.
Special tip
Seriously, if you come here in spring, you might see some bones sticking out of the ground.
