Notes

I had intended to follow the Tauber cycle path (I even had a map of the radweg which is supposed to be really attactive, but I lost it at Creglingen and ended up cycling a few kilometres in the wrong direction and had to refer to my conventional compass to sort myself out. I met up with Liz at Bad Mergentheim near the Alt Rathaus (a nice lady had pointed me in the right direction) and had goulash at a fast food shop.

After lunch I set off in mixed weather on the A27, horribly busy. At Tauberbischofsheim I found the cycle track again and stayed on it all the way to the campsite. The by-road twisted and turned and went up and down so it took longer than I had anticipated. The campsite was laid out alongside the lane under pine trees that dripped on us during the night.
