the Black Forest

May 12, 92

I began my cycling trek through the Black Forest...


The countryside is so beautiful. I really loved it here.
St. Peter and St. Margen are two idyllic towns in the Black Forest.
This was my first big hill on the trip. But the view was so beautiful.




And a perfect place to stop for a lunch break:

Switzerland

And into Switzerland!

What a beautiful country.






And here is the when the nicely marked road turned into a gravel path. And then it went narrower and narrower, and then there were stairs, and I had to carry my bike. And at the end of it I ended up on the wrong side of the lake!!!!!!!

but I would never have seen the following views if I didn't!

(Boy was I tired though!)


I made it to Konstanz in one day from Freiburg, although at 3pm when I was in Bondorf I was thinking about calling it a day. My goal was to stop at some town on the other side of the river, but I was feeling fine and just kept going. I was getting very frustrated with the nice detours but that would turn into little paths and then disappear. For the final 30km I decided to stay on the road. I was tired, but I was very happy and had done at least 140 km today.
