Greetings Steemians!
Last week I had the rare chance of freeing myself from all my everyday obligations and thus had the opportunity to basically disappear for almost 3 days. Quickly, the plan was forged to undertake a hike across the Swabian Jura. From the Donau town Ulm to the Swabian village Owen, with 63 kilometer and 1190 meter total ascent in between. Given my current fitness, an ambitious yet achievable goal for a two-day hike.
The day before I packed all my gear and took the train to Ulm, full-speed into a golden autumn evening:
These colors! I hope the weather will stay like this for the coming two days.
Opposite me my reliable companion on numerous tours in the last years.
After a 2h ride, the Ulm Minster shows up between the trees.
Heavy construction works going on at the main station. Can't wait to leave all this noise behind me.
Walking towards my accomodation. The Ulm Minster is glowing in the evening sun. I've been several times to Ulm already but this enormous cathedral never fails to impress me. You can gather some more impressions from my previous visit here and here.
After an easy evening walk along the Donau it was time to head towards the Hotel. The days are getting noticeably shorter, so tomorrow I better set out early in the morning.
Thanks for watching and 'til the continuation of this tour!
