We were the last to leave our $5 campsite this morning, we returned our keys and went into town to get a Bavarian EuroVelo 6 map. Got it! In German! The maps are still the same, the info is interpretive.
We rode 57 km today with only 1 km on road. Undulating country. Lachy was disappointed with the mighty Danube. Photo tells a thousand words. The EV6 is well sign posted and it was not too hard to follow.
We stopped for lunch beside the Danube, where an art installation had been installed in the river with two chairs and a table and a bird sitting upon it. No photo sorry. Bread roll and jam. Fresh bread daily from the bakerie. We passed through a town where Lachy asked for pretzels. They were good whilst riding. No chocolate version sorry, G.
The rainforests we are riding through contain deer, squirrels and other marsupials/lizards that we cannot see, but can hear.
We passed through a fortified town near Nickhof the contained and old church called Klosterkirche. An unusual feeling passing through. You could compare it to passing through a private property thinking you were doing the wrong thing. The town wasn't deserted but is was an eirey feeling. We couldn't work the door knob out to look at the church which we suspect that was built late 1800 a small niche with Mary and sweet baby Jesus built 21 Oct 1893. 52 years before mums birthday.
Another church located 10 km from Dickberg but closer to Oberhausen contained two rows of pews that was more for travellers than congregations. A beautiful fresco filled the wall behind the altar and at the entry to the church. A worthwhile stop. Looking forward to Church Sat or Sun.
The bikes are coping well. We are carrying an extra 1000g of dirt and looking intently for an auto lavage to cleanse our beasts.
On other family co-inhabit our campsite tonight. A five and two year old from Spain on a towed bike and baby carrier. Twenty to thirty k's a day.
Tomorrow we will go to the castle, before we head off on the ride. With a dedicated route we can plan our rides a bit better. Looking forward to Ulm for our rest day. It is supposed to be a historic town with good sights.
Stay safe! We are!

Hello fellow traveller! I am blogging at the same time as you. I like the sign. We managed to see some storks in their nests today. Our scenery is very dry. It is interesting to see the shifts in colour and patterns in the landscape. It would be hot riding through this area at this time of year.Spain is more mountainous than i thought. Give my love to Lachlan. Kylie xoxoxo
I thought the Danube was supposed to be 'blue' ;)
Love you xx
