It was so obvious: this path was going up to the village.
Even if you had to cross a little ditch first.
Why than the surprise?
In the hilltop village I had been looking for a way to walk in the direction of sunrise. But there was none. So I took the mainroad first, than taking a righthand turn going down. After a fifty minutes walk I got to a field with a little Marychapel and a magnificent view over the hills.
When I turned around, the sun in my back, I saw it…
I jumped over the ditch, followed the path and within a five-minutes-climb I was back in the village again.
It was so obvious.
The path was there, but I first had to change perspective to see.
