Families and friends ventured through the torch-lit forest paths on a magical winter experience under clear skies, with the moon providing added ambiance.

The three-kilometre trail offered a peaceful walk through the heart of winter nature, with municipal staff welcoming participants with hot chocolate and coffee to help them keep warm.
