Day 6: Ribeauvillé - Schaffhausen (Switzerland)

Three countries on one day! The route will take us from France over the Maginot Line to the river Rhine, the German/French border. After cruising on some back roads in the Black Forest we will enjoy the famous black forest cake in Hexenlochmühle, a mystic witch place.

And than we sneek in over a small border crossing into the land of milk and money - Switzerland.

The Rhine Fall in Schaffhausen is .the largest in Europe and Schaffhausen itself absolutey worth to  sit.- specially on the motorcycle

Enjoy the view from the top of Kandel!

Day 5: Ribeauvillé

Today we have a rest day where everybody is free to do what ever he is up to, no matter if you want to explore the area by your own, or discover the local sight by walking such as museums or wine tastings or even go out for a ride with the tour guides on our rest day route.

Todays rest day ride took us up to the most famous fortresses of the Alsace region the "Hautkönigsbourg"

Not only the castle itself is a highlight not to miss but also the view from up there is just fabulous.

After the panoramic view from the view point at the castle we went further on over several mountain passes, like "le col du bonhomme" or "le col de la schlucht".

Curve after curve we are able to improve our riding skills.

After a few hours riding it was time to rejoin the rest of the group to enjoy a nicely prepared picnic at the hotel.

Some of us finished the afternoon with a second ride, others went for shopping or enjoying the nice town by a small walking tour.

Tonight we go out for dinner and watching the worldcup game between France and Belgium.

Quick picture stop in the vineyards around Ribeauvillé.
Maretha likes the ride up to the castle!
All perfectly lined up in front of the "Hautkönigsbourg"
Rod and Maretha having a good time with Tom at the castle.
Sad memories from the past, the WWI cimetary at the "col du Wettstein"
Le lac blanc translated the white lake on our way back to the hotel, unfortunatly a little bit cold for a swim.
and after the ride a picnic was waiting for the wild riders
and after the picnic we waited for the soccer semi final - I could have been a good day

Day 4: Heidelberg - Ribeauvillé (France)

Our route today leads us through the Black Forest and the Rhine Valley into France. The roads were so beautiful we had not so much time for pictures.

a short stop at Mummelsee at the Schwarzwald Hochstrasse

Who is it? Yes - James and Catherine

Day 3: Rothenburg - Heidelberg

After a funny tour with the nightwatchman yesterday evening we started with perfect weather and good mood direction Heidelberg. Castle Langenburg was the first picture stop before we rolled along the river Jagst to Schöntal. Schöntal means cake!!!!!  Two beautiful castles in the afternoon and than Heidelberg.

Thomas,
I am very grateful you used your persuasive powers to get me on the aerial tram to Santis. It would have been a terrible shame to miss that!
