Location

In a vineyard above Sigolsheim.

Participants

Baarde

Expedition

I cycled to Ribeauvillé and took a small road, parallel to the Eurovelo 5, which goes over the hills, trough the vineyards and down to Kientzheim.

The coordinates were in a vineyard above the nearby town of Sigolsheim. From there, I had a nice view on the town and the Kaysersberg valley.

After reaching the geohash, I climbed to the military cemetery located on the top of the hill, just a few hundreds meters from there. It hosts the graves of French soldiers who died in the Battle of the Colmar Pocket during Winter 1944-45.

Then I went to Kaysersberg to have drink with a piece of blueberry pie and buy a postcard.
