Here, near the marked path, a spring horizon seems to exist, therefore the ground is wet. A bit up from here, a water well for the cattle.
Above the spring horizon, Elder-flowered orchids (Dactylorhiza sambucina) in abundance - only at their beginning though. This one in yellow ...
... and this one in purple red.
