No pepper in The Pepper Mountains

A view of The Vistula River valley and the town of Sandomierz on the horizon from The Pepper Mountains greeted us after a walk in the sun on the first Sunday afternoon in September. These mountains are not at all high or steep as they are very old. However, they are a nice place for a hike. You will not find any pepper there, mind you. The name Pepper Mountains refers to their colour and the fact that the rocks forming them crumble resembling grains of pepper because of erosion. We met a few other tourists there. As we were leaving a group of bikers arrived and filled the place. I didn't miss my bicycle there and then, that would be too much for me. Walking back to the car we couldn't resist picking an apple from the orchard lining the road. The fruit was refreshingly crisp and juicy, sweet and sour at the same time. It was such a pleasant walk.

This place has been on my 'MUST VISIT' list for years. It was the best time to do so and the company was fantastic! :-) Owing to 'Nerijusk' another of my dreams come true!
