Finally back trips.
on the spontaneous request of Andy, if I have time next week, I was able to catch on with my boss, the much-needed vacation.
Andy suggested that we cycle through by bicycle from the Basel élass and hold wherever we like. Said and Done. The train from Zurich, we unfortunately missed because I was slightly overwhelmed with the ticket machines. Haha, this is namely, not at all funny. Or any of you know where the note for bikes is available on the machine? And why there are normal and reduced ticket for bikes? We arrived at Basel but still came in at once and the pedals ( time: 12.00). It continued at pace, even if the A. ... or what is still down there out of the question, sometimes even tweaked. It went through endless corn fields and small fresh wood. The place in the sun was against infernal. Only about 19:00 clock, to 80-90 km, we arrived in Thann. The village lies at the foot of the Vosges and is considered a starting point for the Route des Vins. Immediately upon arrival, seemed to us a visit in the local swimming pool a great idea. As did But we still do not want any one would require us to wear humiliating tiny Speedo swimwear. Such things are even forbidden to Mykonos!
According able we took in the venerable Hotel du Parc Logis. Previously, we had the receptionist or traded from EURO 129 to EURO 79 down.
The next morning we got up late. After a brief tour of the place we went in time for the greatest heat of the day on the road. The next stretch was beautiful. Over the rolling hills vineyards, past castles and palaces, through medieval jewelry Village we pedalten almost like a dream.
The storm had us on the verses, but not picked us. At 18.00 we reached Requewir clock, which was named one of the most beautiful villages in France. This is not an exaggeration. It really feels like another world, if not there would be the Disney Tschutschubähnli. I also looked everywhere Obelix doubles what the surreal effect of this place even more profound.
The next night we spent in the tourist Obernai. At last, we ate real Alsatian cuisine and drank fantastic local wine. The Pinot Noir was rather disappointed us before. The Klever de Heiligenstein was then but a very excellent wines. To eat some snails simmering in her little potty in front of me. Too bad these things are not. This is true at least until one tries to guess where the sensors were probably of little animal. For the main course I had noodles with Munster cheese. When Andy gabs a very special Specialties - the Sauerkraut pile, which is described by an unknown source as follows:
"proves Often enough, however, gami, the pressure of mass tourism as more and since gets the famous Alsatian choucroute the equally unkind inserted as boiled cabbage pile on the then along the lines of "quantity over quality" some sausage cans, a cloth factory-smoked bacon and a few less appetizing parts are layered pork. "
... well, much better I could not describe it. That should not spoil the mood, after all there was to celebrate the fact that we have the youngest by far People in town were. This was probably the great folklore evening, which took place on the main square outside the cathedral.
In the last section, we have put back the short rest up to Strasbourg. The city appealed to us right away. Good size, channel character and beautiful buildings are a few reasons. The station also looks like a landed UFO. The cathedral is impressive with 142 m height and was to the 18th Century the tallest building in the West - which makes him probably the highest Catholic Church.
Two things struck me at the Elsass: First, they speak German and French, but for non stän sinterized Rules. You never know whether someone better in German or French or why someone responds one speaks instead of the other language. Secondly, no one seems to work (except for service in the restaurant). Everyone looks so happy out .. impossible to imagine that these people come from a job or go to work.
And to whom is the fascination of France still has to explain, I recommend the following impression, that I at 31 July 2008 was included in Strasbourg:
Au revoir! (This means goodbye, and you are allowed to be taken literally)
