In the prairie: sheep and orchids

No collets today, they were on the program yesterday. Today we go “just “to the prairie. In Les Bosses, we step across the water into the forest. It is directly 'price': several orchises are waiting for us. You climb up a wide gravel path, it's not really climbing, it goes very gradually. A surprise awaits us once again at Pont Moulin. Parparallel to the path, water seeps down the rock face, a waterfall with splashing waters and the sun that makes everything shine,... this place gives a feeling that cannot be described in words.

We cross the bridge and see that everything is down. Have the sheep gone up the mountain before? Indeed, a little further we see a large herd of sheep on the path. The shepherd calls that we have to come up so that his sheep can go down but the sheep are a bit of their milk and it takes a long time for the shepherd and his dogs to get them back on the right path and in the right direction. Once the sheep have passed us, we cross the river without a bridge and thus with wet feet. However, the weather is easy and the shoes dry quickly.

Path On, Path Away
