Cecilia Forest has a few trekking paths and is a great outdoor activity option if you want to avoid the direct heat of the sunlight. The most popular routes begins at the Cecilia Forest car park where Rhodes and Hohenhort Drives meet. The paths have fairly gradual inclines that should not be too strenuous to hike. You’ll be able to find cool mountain springs along the way. One particular route also leads to a waterfall. Legends has it that there are fairies that live in the trees in Cecilia Forest. The walk duration should be around 1.5 to 2 hours.
