Family hike in a spruce wood, 3 ancient 400-500 year old spruces, 40 metres high, with a diameter of 175 cm and a circumference of 550 cm.

Half a century ago, a dozen spruce patriarchs watched over Rifair. Now there are only 3 spruces that have "survived". However, the tranquillity of this natural oasis is still a delight.
