Valley of Castles

Missing boxes of gear arrived via courier to our hotel on May 5! After gearing up the same day, we biked 35 km from Tuttlingen to Hausem im Tal. Very beautiful trail with many castles perched on surrounding limestone cliffs. Church bells ringing every hour as we pass through small towns. Got split up from Steph and John in Beuron. We randomly stopped at a pub in Hausem im Tal for dinner at 6:30 and it turned out to have a connected hotel that Steph had booked - Steph and John appeared soon after at the pub/hotel - snitzel and beer for everyone, hooray! May 6, biked 40 km from Hausem im Tal to Mengen. Stayed at an expensive hotel at an airport- some local guide showed us the way via car and insisted we stay there.
