Dinosaur tracks and an old opencast mine. Was great.
Unfortunately my battery died shortly before the end.

We used today's Easter Sunday for a hike on the Bückeberg with a visit to the Bremsschacht VII and the dinosaur tracks.
We had to change the downloaded route a little, as the path was not there at one point and later we took a shortcut because it started to rain.....
Nevertheless, a nice round.
