Plans

I'll be traveling north along the Rhine for the day, and may route this way via the S3 train and a bike ride (e.g. Bellheim to Lingenfeld).

Expedition

I used DB Navigator to plot a journey with a 1-hour stopover at Bellheim Bf - not Germersheim, which could have put me on a regional express train and thence a gravel road east-west through the forest. This started off great.

Successful transfer at Karlsruhe Hbf -- Coyotebush (talk) @48.9933,8.3988 12:07, 6 August 2024 (GMT+02:00)

I started riding from Bellheim and soon found the cycle path along L538. A few fields separated the town from the forest.

Garmin got me to the closest part of the path, then Geohash Droid pointed me across the road. Traffic was intermittent, so it was easy to dash across for some photos. Cell signal was too weak to re-load imagery or upload photos.

While Lingenfeld was slightly farther away, it would gain me about 20 minutes off the train, which still looked like enough time for lunch. I passed a cyclist-filled cafe next to the tracks in Westheim, then a fried chicken food truck in the Lingenfeld square, before deciding on a falafel wrap from the nearby döner shop. I took this to the station to eat, which avoided any anxiety about reaching the station (and the other side of the tracks in time). There I found a sheltered seat and plenty of time.

As I ate, DB notified me that I might miss rejoining an ICE in Mannheim, and I realized the planned journey had counted on a 5-minute transfer. By running, I made it barely on time... and then the overcrowded train didn't depart for another 20 minutes. At the next stop in Mainz, many of us were asked to leave to make room, and I ended up on a slow regional train for the rest of my travel day.
