October 7, 2025,Buchenlochhöhle – Gerolsteiner Dolomiten

A beautiful, initially path-based tour through the Gerolsteiner Dolomites. Along the way, there are information panels about geology, and thanks to a headlamp, the Buchenloch cave was easy to explore, and we even found a few Semmelstuppel mushrooms. 😋😋

Only the last part of the trail from Pelm was a bit muddy/paved. Unfortunately, I didn't look for an alternative way …
