July 17, 2023,Vercor-Wanderung mit Johanna über das Plateau de Font d'Urle

Hiked with Johanna over the Plateau de font d'Urles and up to the Puy de la Gagere. Terrific scenery, horses, sheep, cows and a few giant vultures. And that colossal view many, many 100 meters down the valley (1000 or so?... Hard to guess). That was very very nice :)
