Friday 17th. May. Singen to Fridingen. 59km.
























Wow, what a day! We did 59km, of which about 35km were a slow steady uphill. The climb up into the low lying clouds through the forests at the eastern edge of the Black Forest was spectacular, and we even surprised a couple of wild deer who didn't hear us coming. We got lost a couple of times, because the EV6 signs disappeared, but the amazing scenery was good compensation. When we came over the last rise and coasted into Tuttlingen, we had arrived at the upper reaches of the Donau (Danube River). Our climb from Radolfzell to Emmingen took us from 398m to 772m above sea level.

We have now cycled about 2100 km since we left Bristol, and it has been a slow uphill climb most of the way. Now that we have reached the top of the Danube, the route should (in theory) be mostly downhill all the way to Vienna. Stayed at Hotel Gasthof Sonne. Very nice.

Rout: Singen - Engen - Emmingen - Tuttlingen - Fridingen.
