Today we set out along the cycle path along the Weil river which runs past our holiday flat. After about 4km it reaches Schmitten, home to a building designed by my Mum. To my knowledge it's the only one that was ever built, so we made a small detour to pay it a visit.
Continuing along the river path, we discovered that some people have a rather in-your-face approach to garden decoration.
The path continues through Dorfweil, Brombach, Hunoldstal and along a rather hilly detour to Altweilnau with its castle.
We had hoped to stop at Erbismühle on the other side of Altweilnau for lunch, but it has been turned into a home for refugees. Our next opportunity for food was Landgasthof Ziegelhütte just outside Rod an der Weil. We got there after about 2h20 of cycling, but the kitchen was closed and only soup or bread was available.
After 10 mins of deliberation, we decided to continue on in search of another guest house. But the only other ones we found in Rod an der Weil still appeared to be closed for the winter.
Eventually, we returned to the earlier restaurant and stopped one hour for soup and bread.
We then cycled back essentially following the same route, but taking some shortcuts where it had been too hilly.
