Sheep at Rantum Basin

Highlight • Natural

The Rantum Basin is a highlight for all ages. Especially the many sheep grazing leisurely and standing on the trail. For my daughter, it's the best thing ever 🐑🐑

Today's plan was the Rantum basin nature reserve. On site, we drove aimlessly in a clockwise direction around the pool. If I had turned my head on beforehand, I would have remembered that the wind was coming from the south-southwest again and that it was a stiff breeze.
