Plans
The coordinates are 48 km from home by bicycle if I take a direct route through the plain. However I don’t intend to take a direct route through the plain.
Expedition
I left home with my bicycle before noon and headed towards Ribeauvillé. I took the same route as for my previous expedition until Kientzheim. I followed the EuroVelo 5 until Turckheim and climbed to the Hohlandsbourg castle before descending to Gueberschwihr.
After cycling 50 km and climbing more than 1000 m through the vineyards and forests, I was starting to feel a little bit peckish. I stopped in Rouffach to eat some tapas and a big ice cream, and drink a beer, a lemonade, an apfelschorle and a coffee. I was now ready to get back on my bicycle and attempt to reach the coordinates.
I stayed (most of the time) on the EuroVelo 5 until Soultz-Haut-Rhin and entered the forest. As the road was crossing a dried-up stream, I stopped: I had reached my destination. I left my bicycle behind a tree and walked along the stream for about 150 meters.
