June 18, 2024,Elsass-Runde durch das Sauer-Delta

Today's tour started directly with a ferry ride to neighboring Alsace. From here we went through the Sauer Delta to Lauterbourg.
From here the tour led westwards into the interior of the country to the foothills of the Vosges, where we then headed back home.
