I hope this isn't considered cheating, but a bit of googling for Isarradweg suggests it's the Wachsende Felsen near Landau (and that my guess at the sign was correct). It looks like a remarkable bit of geology.

Usterling,near Landau. It is rather remarkable, with the water running along a groove on the top of the narrow blade of rock so that it is gradually spreading downhill. There are a couple of holes in the rock, and I will see if I can get another pic up.

How did I know that you would be the one to get it?

Correct. Of course.

Dang. One I could actually get, and I missed it

Not a lot of clues in Tony's first, but the second is quite distinctive.

Needless to say, however distinctive it is, I don't know the answer

The first could be the Long Mynd.

Exmoor?

Exmoor?

It is indeed. How about the specific place (very specific indeed....)?

clarion · « **Reply #2565 on:** 18 February, 2010, 10:43:28 am »

Only place I've even heard of on Exmoor is Cow Castle, but I can't see anything that looks enough like a fort.

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #2566 on:** 18 February, 2010, 12:03:17 pm »

A place with associations.....

Spot on, the very Southern end.

Is the other photo taken in Budapest?

Zoom out on the link and I was just on the East flank of Badgworthy Hill for that picture. Just by the loop on the river in this shot:

Nope, not Budapest, Steve, wrong country.

Thanks, but no way I'd have got it without Tony's clue 'associations': 'Lorna Doone' was the first thing that came to mind, knowing that it was Exmoor.

Here's another shot of the statues
