Attention, new questions since December 10th 2017 !

The Sandharlanden heath is located on a hill which was covered by sand at the end of the last ice age. Because of the dry soil, no farming was done on this land but pastural agriculture. In thies heath you can find a kind of vegetation which is not very common in the south of Germany. Only the grazing sheep can prevent the area from being totally covered by bushes. Iy you are lucky, you may see a flock of sheep here.

Da jetzt wieder beide Doserl im Versteck waren, habe ich die überzählige entfernt und der anderen ein frisches Logbuch spendiert.

Nachdem ich heute in der Zeitung gelesen hatte, dass in der Sandharlandener Heide etwas verändert wurde, habe ich nach Feierabend gleich mal nach dem Rechten gesehen. Wie schon befürchtet war das Doserl weg - ich habe gleich ein neues dagelassen. Dafür gibt es jetzt aber auch wieder in der Nähe des Startpunktes eine Infotafel.
