Baarde

Expedition

I was a somewhat hesitant about attempting this expedition as I was feeling a little unwell in the morning. Nonetheless, I took my bicycle, left home at 13:20 and went on what would be a very nice expedition with an ideal weather. I crossed the German border on the Sasbach-Marckolsheim bridge, took the direct route through the Kaiserstuhl hills and reached Umkrich in slightly less than two hours.

The coordinates were located in a small wood just outside the town. I took a couple photos and went to a nearby (but not within sight) establishment to have a beer, a coffee and a piece of rhubarb cake.

Then I cycled to Breisach am Rhein and climbed to the top of the Münsterberg hill before crossing the Rhine again and heading back home.
