I travelled by train from Stuttgart to meet up with friends Tina and
Kim at Freising, a little out of Munich.

was supposed to climb this mountain - but I didn't have a good map
(until I found this on on a sign) - and I ended up going around it.

Above - We climb up to the top of a small crag - Tina, Lille, Kim

fossils fund so far)
Above - On the ride back - we stop at some roadwork - perhaps a good
place to find some fossils? It was - we found a few (but no
archaeopteryx)
