Froschmaul Rock Formation

I actually wanted to join the Wandergruppe Saarland for the whole tour. Since I had already done the spring hike with the Illtaler eV yesterday, I cut it short after half the distance to explore Kirkeler Burg. Afterwards, I went back to the Naturfreunde Haus where I waited for the group to have a bite to eat with them.
