Hangman – it was the week of Halloween. Noticed a lawyer’s name on the letter box next to this.

House – an old but still inhabited house in Mutzig

Chapelle Notre-Dame des Sept Douleurs (Heilighiesel) – unfortunately not a peaceful place as it lies next to a busy road.

(not so wild) life – at the second we stepped into their field, they came to us to see what’s going on.

Eating leaves — Goat eating fallen leaves like I would eat a bowl of peanuts.

Direction signs – at this stage we left the yellow circle to follow the red symbols.

Steps — Here we starting climbing. It’s a steep but very short climb.

Rocher du Geissfels – where this narrow trail took us to

Vegetal revenge — The tree revenge – metal blended by the growing tree

Forest — Changing direction but staying on the marked trail

Forest track — The forest path became a track

Misleading directions — This sign is to be rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise

Not-so-green salad — Lunch break: a not-so-green salad

Littering is one thing I do not understand.

Cycling from Strasbourg to Offenburg

October 12, 2014 kewl Leave a comment

On cycleways, mostly dedicated. Easy to ride, the total distance is about 60 km long on a flat surface, mostly on asphalt; only one small segment is on a track and another one on gravel. The North segment to Offenburg is nicer than the South back to Strasbourg via Illkirch.
