Monday 20th. May. Rottenacker to Ulm. 44km.
Another good tailwind today and sunny. The countryside has become more open, with rolling green farmland and quaint towns. We came across a field next to the river that had about a hundred swans gathered in it, most of them quite young. I've never seen such a large group. It looked like a swans nursery. We also saw for the first time a real live hare. It was four times the size of a normal wild rabbit, with much longer legs and very long ears. Much cuter than a rabbit.
Ulm, which is very pretty, has the tallest church steeple in the world, and is also the birthplace of Albert Einstein. The Danube is getting bigger now, but still not navigable by big boats yet.
Route: Rottenacker - Ehingen - Ersingen - Erbach - Ulm.
