Dawn
There’s a shooting range we walk by before entering the forest.

Speaking of Karlsberg beer, the Karlsberg Brewery is in Homberg.
Under the ruins of the castle on the hill above Homberg is a sand mine.
With hard hats on our heads, we descended into the sand mines. In Italy truant children were turned into donkies and sent to work in the salt mines. I wonder if truant children were sent to work in the sand mines in Homberg.
Homberg residents took refuge in the sand minds during bombing raids on homberg in WWII.

Lots of low ceilings. The tunnels were much darker than in the photos.

Off Center & Not Even 
One time we went to a Biergarten in Homburg and the waitress had fresh dunkel Bier on tap, Karlsberg. People have talked about caramel notes and such in beers before but I always thought they were making it up. Until I drank that fresh dunkel Weißbier. So good. So Caramel. Much notes. Wow.
Bier der Seele in der dunklen Nacht!🍻 Thanks, Tristan.
Best to go drinking after the shooting range, methinks… less chance of stray bullits.
Those mines are so very cool!
Fabulous pictures, Tim.
These are amazing. What a place.
Atlas looks very fetching in that last photo. The sand mines look like a fascinating place to explore, although I wouldn’t want to go too deep into them.
I agree with Atlas and prefer yarn.
