Oh, that's what porcini look like 🤣👌, a beautiful place in the rock with a sufficient rest area, and the long bench.

Today a little tour alone for the 1st Advent...from Velburg...in the hope of escaping the fog...unfortunately it was nothing😢 but whatever. A beautiful tour with great caves, the Schwammerl rock, small and large hollow holes and the Velburg castle ruins. I recommend it...surely even better in good weather😊
