When I need to get out of the city but don't have the time to take a longer break I ride my bike up north for 10 minutes and end up in one of the nicest and biggest forest near the city center. It is easy to get in a relaxed mode and breathe fresh air from the trees when you sit on a trunk in the middle of the forest. And there is plenty of forest to stroll around.
I love to walk barefoot there and try the different textures of the floor as the landscape changes from forest to open landscape and lawns. The small animals of the little game reserve are beautiful to watch and when the sun sets down and the dust comes up it is quite an enchanted spot to be.
