The children, and visiting friend Emily, ran up a mountain on Sunday. The grown-ups trailed behind but eventually made it to the Birnbachloch where the river springs from a very deep hole in the rock. So deep that the true depth is still unknown. Legend has it that a huge lake lies undiscovered within the mountain and when one tries to find it a deep muffled voice warns,'if you discover me, I will swallow you'! Simon tried various techniques, Caspar took the story very seriously and got a bit panicky, but thankfully, it wasn't discovered, and noone was swallowed.
