May Day is a traditional hiking day of the (bigger) family. The destination was a place within the Swabian Alb and that usually means lots of limestone (usually with some cliffs), caves and quite often an old castle or the remains thereof. The elevation is called "Rosenstein" which literally means "rose stone".
The weather was nice so the place was really crowded which was the only downside of the trip.
Lathyrus vernus (Fühlings-Platterbse)- had to look that up ;) Lots of woodruff was growing there, too.
One of the best geocaches I have seen. Walked by a few times without looking at it close enough to see that this is not a home for birds.
The remnants of the castle and also the location of another geocache. The rest of the family was watching while I was climbing the walls :) They didn't quite catch the exitement ...
You didn't manage to convert them to geocaching then?
