Postcard #24 – Sigmaringen, Germany
We remembered the little town of Sigmarigen on the Danube from the first time we were here, in 2013. It is still as pretty!

Postcard #23 – Mindelheim, Germany

Postcard #18 – Hluboká Castle, Bohemia
We cycled a total of 87 km return today in a heat wave to visit Hulboká Castle only to learn that there is only a guided visit in Czech lasting an hour! We decided it wasn’t worth it :). A Gothic castle was initially built on the site in the 13th century. During its history, …
