20-Doline-1 * Since most is limestone, you'll find caves and dolines everywhere, this is a big one Franka and I crossed - climbing up through the hole on the other side * 1984 x 1488 * (667KB)

21-Doline-2 * You can see through on all places. (The one we got through was somewhat bigger than this one) * 1488 x 1984 * (637KB)

22-Cattle * At the end - much more south than expected, we turned around and decided to pass along the eastern side. There we encountered this herd of cattle. * 1984 x 1488 * (632KB)

23C-Geneve23-25 * Looking out southeast - looking over Geneva! * 4986 x 1326 * (608KB)

Today we went to the National Park, to climb one peak and return by the European Long Distance Path E9. At some point, we should have gone up to Columby de Gex, but somehow we missed the path and we ended up far more south, giving us a panoramic view on Geneva and wide surroundings. At some point, we went down too far on the Eastern sloes so we had to climb back - uphill. There we could indeed pick up the trail we wanted.
