We are safe and secure in Sigmaringen.
We left the hotel around 8 a.m. because we wanted to get to our destination around 3 p.m. We only had 56 km but we had quite a bit of climbs. We discovered that we had not fully recovered from yesterday's adventure. Oh well, not much you can do but pedal on.
The Danube originates about 30 km away from Tuttlingen, so we ended up following a widening creek through a narrow valley with high gorges. There was a lot more scenery today then there was yesterday's.
While on the trail, we were surprised to find an information kiosk. The kiosk was there to inform that the Danube disappears underground right after its source and splits and flows into (world) seas. What flows above ground eventually flows into the Black Sea. What disappears and flows underground reappears after two or 3 days, flows into Lake Constance and the Rhine, and with the Rhine into the North Sea.

The ride was pretty scenic right to Sigmaringen. We have a small and comfortable room in a building that dates to 1722.
We got to do a little walkabout in Sigmaringen and made it to the castle but not in time for visiting hours. We visited the old stables that house an impressive collection of old buggies and sleighs.We also took a peek in the church. See picture below.

The sign on the bike path, maybe 2 speed bumps :)

Sylvie c’est Daniel qui te repond et voici ce que j’ai trouvé: Two bumps in a red triangle indicate that the road surface ahead is uneven. Try lowering your speed and pay close attention to any lumps and bumps beneath you to ensure you don’t sustain any avoidable damage.
DeleteC’est interessant de voir cela sur une route en gravel.
en effet, merci Daniel
