    Hiking

    A quiet place to relax and regenerate. I like to sit there in the sunshine on the warm sandstone plateau and take a break.

    The Elwetritsch (also as Elwetrittche, Elwedritsch, Ilwedritsch; in the majority Elwetritsche (n); in (pseudoscientific) Latin bestia palatinensis) is a bird-like mythical creature that is reported in southwest Germany and especially in the Palatinate.
    The Elwetritsch is to be seen as a local equivalent to mythical creatures in other regions, such as the Bavarian Wolpertinger or the Thuringian rattle.
    See de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elwetritsch
    If you see one here on your home rock, please leave a photo here as proof.
