Treuchtlingen part 2 - the surrounding

After seeing the Treuchtlingen, I've went in the surrounding mountains. 

A rocky hill east from Treuchtlingen

The way above

The view from above - in the background the village Osterdorf

A beautiful sunny day at the end of September
The sinkhole, called dolina

Another dolina, it's quite dangerous

Blue blue sky

View on Schambach

Nagelberg

The meadow on the top of Nagelberg

Graben - city named from the ditch (Germ. Graben) built by Karl the Great

Graben - paintings on the wall

Archimedes' screw

WC house, with paintings memorating the ditch that was built by Karl the Great

The ditch was never finished because of technical difficulties

There's an EarthCache dedicated to the great construction

A way to the war cemetery - stone crosses

A path in the forest - the beeches are still green
(end of September), but there are first golden leaves


A quite primitive music instrument, just opposite the Villa Rustica
