Beautiful Ubersee
Trip miles 1,214
+12 daytime
Packing up and leaving the city of Munich by 10am we headed south
in sunshine. Once past the ring road the rolling countryside opened out and
balconied farmhouses stood in acres of green fields. Onion-domed churches and
alpine villages marked the route to the German Alps. Our first glimpse was of
impossibly tall, craggy and snow-covered peaks seemingly squatting right on the
road in front of us. We pulled off to enjoy the fresh clean air, a welcome cup
of coffee and to prepare Bertha for the altitudes. This meant opening all of
her taps and seals to make sure internal pressure was minimised.

| Bauernhof aire - the first 'van of the new season |
Our farm aire at Ubersee was a pure delight. Nestling in
a plain at the foot of the Alps it is home to a charming dairy-farming family
and their many friendly and purring cats. Despite gathering clouds a bike ride
to get the bearings beckoned and we pedalled about for a couple of hours
discovering the river winding across the plain, the town and the way to the Bahnhof.

Tomorrow, a train to Salzburg beckoned….
