Bavaria 2023

Bavaria D8

Good breakfast across the road before setting off around 9am into a steady headwind across typical farmland and villages with fancy Maypoles with tinsel etc hanging from them. Passing through a village I found a shed full of beef cattle eating green grass, which must have been freshly cut. There was another farmer walking a calf across his yard to its cubicle. Today we spent more time alongside busy roads but we also had some stony tracks, which unfortunately decided to gain height as we approached. Not allowed. There are many hunters huts in the fields where the hunters look for their prey. There is also much winter timber supply by most houses in the country, which is pretty alien to us. Perhaps we should consider this for when they turn off our electricity and gas supplies in the near future. Approaching Augsburg we climbed up to the highest point to see the Kaiser Tower, which has a spiral staircase to the top giving great views of the city. Nearer to town we crossed over the wide river Wertach, although quite low at the moment due to the lack of rain. The hotel Augusta is belonging to the Best Western chain and is quite large and very comfortable. Bavarian couisine tonight. Bratwurst and pommes?
