Hello Steamians,

Today's adventure takes us underground, deep underground, we explored the hidden treasures of Mother Earth. We couldn't believe our eyes, as granites, marbles and diamonds were shimmering and glittering. We were stomped as taught it would be a normal cave tour. Our tour guide explained meticulously about each and every elements and minerals that the cave possess. We even drank the lake water which was crystal clear. Throughout the year the cave has the same temperature about 7 degrees so it was good we brought our thick jackets along.
The cave lies in the same "Triebischtal valley " we explored earlier and was a secret tip from some of the locals.

It was truly a very knowledgeable and diversified and detailed learning experience. To me this experience is not something to be spoken about but one should indulge and gain knowledge about it. So if you have the chance to visit a cave or old mines, I can only say Do it, explore it.
