On the twelfth kilometer’s point, where the forest gets distant from the road, foundations overgrown by plants outstand. In XIX and beginning of XX centuries, timber workers’ bunkhouses were standing here. People formated and planted the protective duneridge. It is considered that after 1870, a part of French captives who were working here were accommodated in those bunkhouses. Later these houses were intended for hired workers. People say that women from the continent, who were planting the forest, had also settled there. Due to their easy virtues, this place received such a name. The dune of the Valley of Love of 32 meters stands out beside the Valley of Love.
