Bodensee - Konstanz

We first went to Bodensee in March and, as I said in this post, we had very good weather, which helped us enjoy the trip.
The second time was not different, although walking around town might have been a little more pleasurable if the temperatures had been a bit lower. Still, it was a great day; and luckily there are always radlers to help with the heat!

This time we went all the way to the top of the lake and visited the old part of Konstanz, a town in the northwestern shore, which is famous for being the birthplace of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, constructor of the famous Zeppelin airships.

Schwäbische Alb - Bad Urach & Uracher Wasserfall

The Uracher Wasserfall is in the middle of the Maisental (or Maisen Valley in English) at the outskirts of Baden Urach.
The spring falls 37 meters and then runs another 50 meters into the valley.

After hiking up, and down, to the ruins of Hohenurach, we made a short stop at a biergarten right in the middle of a meadow and enjoyed a sausage with pretzel and a radler. This meadow is also the place where one can see the beginning of the waterfall.

On the road - there and back again through Spain

Spain is the easiest part of the trip. It's always highway and the road isn't so busy as in France or Germany.
The landscape is also very interesting and completely different. One hour we are going through mountains in the Basque Country and the next we can almost pretend we are in the desert! Specially around the provinces of Burgos and Valladolid the trees are very scarce.

We stopped in Burgos and walked a little bit around the center while we waited for the restaurants to start serving lunch!
