So, wir fahren mal wieder durch eine tolle Landschaft …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, we once again drive through a gorgeous landscape \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 hierher:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 to here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drau\u00dfen haben wir noch diese Sch\u00f6nheit gesehen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside we saw this beauty here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und dann sind wir das \u201eAmphitheater\u201c hinuntergelaufen, zum Eingang der H\u00f6hle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then we walked down the \u201camphitheater\u201d, to the entrance of the cavern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und dann ging es hinein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then we went in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Immer tiefer \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever further down \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Vorbei an einer Spinne, die sogar Torben \u201eulkig\u201c fand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past a spider that even Torben thought is \u201ca hoot\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wollen wir doch mal sehen, was diese H\u00f6hle zu bieten hat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us see what this cavern has to offer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Durch die H\u00f6hle f\u00fchrt ein Weg mit Gel\u00e4ndern. Man muss vorab einen bestimmten Zeitraum buchen, in dem man in die H\u00f6hle geht, dann darf man alleine den Weg entlang wandern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A path with railings leads through the cavern. You have to book a specific time slot ahead of time, then you can enter the cavern at the booked time, and can walk the path on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Was sehr sch\u00f6n ist: nur hier und da ist sehr dezent beleuchtet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very nice: there is only decent lighting at selected spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Denn im Dunklen leben jede Menge Tiere, zum Beispiel das Katzenfrett, beschrieben als: \u201eDas s\u00fc\u00dfeste S\u00e4ugetier, das Sie nie gesehen haben!\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For in the dark a lot of animals live, among them ringtail cats, described as: \u201cThe cutest mammals you\u2019ve never seen!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Naja, auch den Boden hat man zum Teil nicht gesehen, aber es war ja alles eben und es gab die Gel\u00e4nder … 😊<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ground you sometimes did not see either, but then it was all smooth and there were the railings \u2026 😊<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aber wer wollte hier auch auf den Boden schauen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then, who would want to look at the ground here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmund \/ Whale\u2019s Mouth<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hier und da gibt es auch spannende Farben zu sehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here and there you can also spot interesting colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aber kein Graffiti!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no graffiti!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Popcorn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und da hinten gibt es Salzstangen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And back there they have salt sticks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die H\u00f6hle ist riesig! Man geht tiefer und tiefer in den Berg, und engere Passagen sind wirklich die Ausnahme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cavern is huge! You walk deeper and deeper into the mountain and narrow passages are really the exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hier sieht man \u201cschr\u00e4ge\u201d Stalaktiten, denn der gro\u00dfe Fels, an dem sie h\u00e4ngen, ist vor langer Zeit abgest\u00fcrzt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you see slanted stalactites, because the huge rock on which they hang, crashed down a long time ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201eSchweizer K\u00e4se\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSwiss Cheese\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hier kann man erahnen, wie gro\u00df die \u201eHallen\u201c sind. Links unten sieht man die Silhouette eines Menschen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can get a feel for how large the \u201challs\u201d are. On the lower left you can see the silhouette of a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Es gab so viel zu sehen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was so much to see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Offiziell ist angegeben, dass man 1,5 Stunden braucht, wenn man die gesamte Tour macht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They tell you in their information that you need 1.5 hours when you do the complete tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir waren \u00fcber drei Stunden in der H\u00f6hle …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were in the cavern for over three hours \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und wie wir dann am Ende beim Fahrstuhl waren,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when at the end we reached the elevator,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 waren wir 230 m tief!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 we were 230 m deep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir sind dann weiter zum Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Was f\u00fcr eine Kulisse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then traveled on to the Guadalupe Mountains National Park. What a backdrop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir haben eine Menge sch\u00f6ne Pflanzen gesehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw a lot of pretty plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spannende Kakteen, oder auch \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fancy cacti, or also …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… eine spannende Eichensorte mit ganz kleinen Bl\u00e4ttern: Hinckley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 an interesting kind of oak with tiny little leaves: Hinckley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sie hier wirken nicht interessiert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doesn\u2019t look as if these two are interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und woran diese Raubfliege interessiert ist, wollen wir gar nicht wissen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we do not even want to know what this robber fly might be interested in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir sind dann noch kurz zum McKittrick Canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then did another short hike, to McKittrick Canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Auch eine spannende Landschaft!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also an exciting landscape!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und auch hier spannende Pflanzen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And also here interesting plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir konnten leider nicht weit gehen, das Tor zur Stra\u00dfe wird um f\u00fcnf geschlossen. Also gehts jetzt zur\u00fcck zu unserer Unterkunft in …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately we could not go very far, the gate to the street will be closed at five. So now we drive back to our lodging in \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
