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

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.
