Around to Uhldingen, with an uphill visit on the way.

Oh, that was all uphill apparently:)

Day 6: Radolfzell - Uhldingen

Another sunny warm day. 

Leaving Randolfzell, along the city walls.

Nobody warned us that there was a climb soon after leaving Radolfzell!  Phew.  Quite the warmup, but I suppose that any travel inland from a lake has to have some uphill!

The long gentle climb out of town.

Lots of nice areas along the ride. 

I had some navigation issues due to the Wahoo bike computer and phone overheating in the bike map pouch.  Then I used only the Wahoo on the mount.  No problems.

Hmmm? Also note the “pizza” box recycling stack. They are common here. It made sense when we found out that much takeout is in these boxes.

We added a long climb at the end of the day to see a big palace near Salem.  We were tired upon arrival, but did happily glide much of the way back. We didn’t realize that we were on long false flats going up, but we’re happy to discover them on the way down.

Then we visited the Pfahlbauten replica of the prehistoric village that had been unearthed in the area.

The view during dinner in Uhldingen.

Another lovely dinner on the patio, this time with a sunset over the lake.

In Unteruhldingen our hotel Knaus room was small, but we realized that we don’t care due to not being there much. And… the breakfast was fantastic. I was too busy eating for any action photos unfortunately. 

Here’s a random finding - we would often see a type of privacy fence made of caged gravel. Kind of odd I think, but interesting.
