    Tips

    In basalt seas/fields or block heaps in summer, the escaping cold air causes the formation of condensation or a low evaporation rate. This allows various types of mosses to grow and spread there.

        During the descent from the Kalbe towards Schwalbenthal (on the P1) you cross a basalt stone field that is overgrown with mosses. There are beautiful photo opportunities here.
