Day 26. Sigmaringen- Ehinger 73 kms

A day of Schlossing and Storking.

As we stayed just under this lovely looking castle (schloss), we decided to have a mooch around this impressive historical building and get another fix of culture, before we started pedalling again.

Sigmaringen Schloss, has been owned by the same family for 900 years.

Very detailed glass mirror made in Italy many years ago. It was transported over the Alps in a container of melted butter, which then solidified to protect it during its journey! I wouldn’t have wanted the cleaning job on arrival.

Amazing collection of rifles, swords and armour.
This was Sue’s favourite! To take this photo I held my camera through the wire fencing which set the alarm off; so at that point we said goodbye to the Schloss and found a coffee shop.

I decided I needed to swim in the Danube as it looked so tempting! In fact I was able to walk across it; just like the Loire a couple of weeks ago, only much colder.

The trail was very varied, and we went through very tidy villages and small picturesque towns, then along the river, through woods then open countryside. Another day of sunshine.
