Arrival In Wimmelbach - Fifth Stage (212 Km)

Later in the afternoon there was news coverage on Lorenzo facebook page and the first photo of his arrival in Wimmelbach. From that moment news echo had been a continuous follow up publication that created a chain on social network. Even though Lorenzo is quite far from us, he has greatly moved our emotions and I'am sure many of us would have loved to be together with him in Wimmelbach with Gerd and Silvia to celebrate , may be with a jug of good German beer!

Day 6: Re-crossing the Rhine

The morning begins with a rainy sky, it does not rain, but the road is wet and the sky is not encouraging, the clouds lick and grab in the tall trees of the forest.

Day 5: The Black Forest

The Black Forest is not flat

Today I start with good intentions to enjoy the views of the Black Forest, quietly, rather than making miles.

Day 4: From the Lakes to the Black Forest

From high traffic roads to cycling roads.

 

Today starting with downhill and going back to the Lucerne Lake (also called "Lake of the Four Forested Cantons"). The first thing I notice when going out the hotel is children going to school riding push scooters very fast down the hill, indeed Isenthal village is laying on the hill side.

The Tour will pass across Switzerland with its spectacular mountain passes like Simplon Pass, Furkapass and Great St Bernard Pass and reach the Feldberg in the Black Forest (Germany), the highest peak in the area, and the lakeside resort towns of Titisee, the reservoir Lake of Schluchsee and many other highlights that you can see below in this post.
