We hadn't seen each other for too long. Had a nice opportunity to explore the Nordfeld pit in the shady forest today. We took a lot of time to explore the old weathered buildings. And first of all, we had a hearty, delicious breakfast. That was a beautiful day Kalinche. I really missed you 🤗

Whether it's a traditional loop like this one or a hiking multi-cache like last time, these loops are really fun. Even though the GPS was a bit erratic today, sometimes with deviations of more than 20 meters, we still managed to stay within a reasonable time. Although we sometimes lost a few minutes searching for the caches.
