Day Trip in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) of Germany

[Gunningen_imp]

You're welcome. Touring in Europe is very pleasant once you get away from the big cities (same as it is better in the US away from big cities). The difference is - at least in Germany - there are very defined boundaries between town and country. There is no transition between urban, suburban, exurban, rural. You just ride along for about 10 miles in the country and come to another small town. At each town you can find most essentials, especially a good cup of coffee and good food to eat. Here in the US, as a rule the further out you go from the cities the fewer quality amenities you will find. In many parts of the US it might be hard to even find a place to get a fresh sandwich or a hot meal, and if you are looking for a hotel you might have to ride a long time to find accommodations.
