Over the Easter holidays we visited some lovely fairytale places in Thuringia. The first was the Drachenschlucht (Dragon Canyon) in Eisenach which realy felt like a primeval landscape. The canyon is It is quite narrow in places (86cm) and about 3km long. We only walked about 1 km of it

There is a walkway through the canyon which seems a bit strange as you are walking over the stream.
I couldn't resist doing an Indiana Jones impression as we exited the far side :D

We also visited the Feengrotte (Fairy Grotto) in Saalfeld which is a series of amazing caves left over from mining in the area.

Sorry for the repetition of photos, I was trying to capture the atmosphere as the lights were changing to the music and my photos don't really do it justice :o

So after my photo ramble, do you have any fairytale places near you? (and please post lots of pictures :) )
 
Back of Keppoch campsite watching the sunset between Rum and Skye, any time of year but the summer sunsets are unreal, no digital photos, but I'll see if I can dig some out to scan.

BTW forgot to say I enjoyed your photos, especially the caves, slightly inebriated, but no excuse.
 
Fantastic pictures indeed, thanks.

I like to spot shapes in caves and can see a couple in there. Can anyone else see the 'dog in a hole' or 'the Victorian lady'. :)
