Trail Reviews
It's a cloudy, slightly rainy day and we walk along the Ouveze to the climbing rocks in the Ubrieux Gorge. There we turn back. If we had continued walking, our feet would have gotten wet. There are flowers everywhere and it's still very green here. The olive trees are currently being pruned and there are some ancient specimens to admire.
Today, I chose the right destination! In Malaucène, the rattlesnake rifles were out again, in Mollans there was a huge flea market, and in Buis... wonderful peace and quiet! The Baronnies never cease to enchant me... vast, enormous valleys, but also smaller, and quite deserted ones (lavender grows here). Near Buis, you'll find olive fields... The Ventoux is always in sight here, too - albeit from "behind" 😂 Lilli in a small stream again! 👍 but not for drinking... picking grass was the order of the day 🙈 And again, we had company for a few hundred meters! Black and white 😍
