Woke up early as needed to cycle to town to pick up some coffee that my mom asked me to get. That done we packed up and hit the road.
Today’s destination was the Black forest, which was about 300km. Rachel started driving. It took us a fair amount of time to get there as the last 20 km or so were over a mountain pass which meant driving in 2nd gear for about 30 min which was not fun and probably did no good for the engine which was already running hot. The pass was seriously steep in parts but this did not stop a number of cyclist tackling it at a snails pace. It really must be a lung and leg killer.
Once at the site we picked out the best pitch available and set up. This site was very nice with a little stream running through.
Set up done we wandered down to see what was available. As it was late Saturday everything was closed but we were informed by the site owner that the bakery would be open in the morning along with a fish farm further up the river which we could walk too and purchase fresh trout.
The rest of the evening consisted of sitting gazing at the stars of which thousands could be seen due to the sites remote location and very little light pollution and having some dinner. A lot cooler in the evenings in Germany so we actually had to use the sleeping bag but did mean a more comfortable nights sleep was on the cards.
