One of the shortest and most beautiful walks about Bertrich is to the Käsegrotte, or cheese grotto: this is a cave supported by basaltic pillars which look as if made of cheeses placed one on the top of the other. By the side of the cave tumbles a rill of water, which flows from a most beautiful little pool above; over the ravine is a rustic bridge, exceedingly well-constructed: the banks are covered with trees.
Käsegrotte.
LINES ON THE KÄSEGROTTE.
Pure and beautiful the streamlet flows,
Fresh from the earth it springs;
Like heavenly light that o’er earth glows,
And fans the angels’ wings.
Within the grot a Spirit dwells,
Lovely, and pure, and sweet;
