Mountain biking

The descent from the Hochstein is not without its challenges...The stone formation made of slag and pumice is an interesting photo subject. However, the cave entrances are completely littered and were/are used as "open-air toilets"...

Interesting, if you go in... here and there rubbish... you can also immortalize yourself nicely and simply... look for a stick and go
