Steil pad naar beneden en dan op de terugweg weer steil omhoog maar zeker de moeite waard. Op zaterdag geweest en er was een gezellige bedrijvigheid. Mooie bruggen en wandelpad na huel Lee richting perekop. Staat allemaal goed aangegeven

Beautiful walking routes from Huel Lee towards Perekop. Wonderfully cool when it is hot in the summer. A concert was just given in Huel Lee, which gave a very mystical allure to the area. Nice.

The Huel Lee Caves also known as Hollay Cave are man-made rocks. Stones were mined in Roman times and millstones were mined in the Middle Ages. An impressive piece of history in a beautiful, picturesque setting with spectacular rock formations all around. A short walk from the parking lot, near the amphitheater and on the Müllerthal trail. A paradise for hikers and nature lovers to visit.
