Always beautiful on the Alp💪
The Lone Valley and its caves are beautiful.
The Kaltenburg Castle ruins are also a beautiful spot above the Lone Valley.
The forest was busy and closed due to tree felling, so the tour was a bit shorter than planned.😉
It was still incredibly good, and as always, a landscape I love.🤩
