The chapel is on a trail near the visitor center of the forest. It began as a wooden church. Here’s more information about the church’s history.
Companion volumes to A Year of Folk Tunes are now available. Each key has four rounds for more practice in all twelve keys.
A Round and A Round for Violin, A Round and A Round for Viola and A Round and A Round for Cello will continue to facilitate musical practice in each key. Most of the rounds need two players. A few of them are scored for three or four musicians. The rounds are chamber music that can be played with any combination of instruments.
A short trail that was often a sidewalk through the treetops. It had interesting signage and a suspension bridge to traverse along the trail.
