Heidelberg Caste
At the end of a 100 mile day we reached Heidelberg just as the sun was setting on the castle.Day 22, 22nd June.
Jagsthausen - Schrozberg - Rothenburg - Röshof
We arose early, packed, and left without paying the €2.50 requested on the sign - there was no-one there to take it to anyway. It was 7 when we carried on along the Jagstal cycle path. We stopped for breakfast at a Backerei and watered up before the climb at the end of the valley which was pretty hard. Scott’s legs were paining him again so we slowed down. The thing with following the rivers is that we do only about half the distance as the crow flies - Scott finds this out on his GPS. We notice a big difference being only three, we are much quicker on the move and making decisions. So, after leaving the rivers we were on the plateau with great tail-winds, lots of lovely villages, and traveling in an almost straight line eastwards towards Prague. We stopped to look around the Bavarian town of Rothenburg which is ancient and walled, and sits on top of a hill - beautiful. Our stop for the night was just outside of Lehrberg in the forest in a lovely clearing. We had vegetable pasta, and fell
asleep to beautiful natural sounds of nature - the best.
