Menhir Bad Säckingen  Standing Stone (Menhir)  Germany  Baden-Wuerttemberg  Visited  19th Oct 2019  4  4  4  Got tired of seeing that green symbol on the map and decided this place needed a visit and a picture.  16   
Grottes d'Arcy-sur-Cure  Cave or Rock Shelter  France  Bourgogne:Yonne (89)  Visited  15th Jul 2020  2  4  5  Fascinating to be able to see the oldest accessible cave paintings in Europe.
