May 26, 2024,Neukirchener Höhlensteig ... mit Karl

Yesterday we were on the Neukirchener Höhlensteig in glorious weather with its imposing rock formations and impressive caves, especially the Buchberghöhle and the Geiskirche. A worthwhile hiking trail, but after the heavy rain of the last few days it was quite greasy and slippery, so it required special attention and surefootedness.
