Sunday 22 September 2024
After a morning walk around part of Turckheim I didn't get to yesterday, we set off on our journey north.
I'd planned a scenic route along the D415 over des Vosges National Park.
Unfortunately my plans were scuppered at the first roundabout when road blocks were set up to allow the Colmar Marathon to take place on the road I'd planned to drive along.
So another route was quickly planned.
This took us over the Col de la Schlucht which was quite a scenic drive.
We stopped at the top for a cuppa and a walk around.
It's a ski resort in winter but in summer the ski lift is used to take people up the mountain and come down in a toboggan on rails, looks like fun.
Sadly it wasn't running today for some reason, or I might have been tempted.
Disappointingly there were no views either, I suspect you have to climb higher up for those as trees at road level blocked any chance of a view down the valley.
It was a busy place though, lots of motorcycles out for a Sunday drive.
Our destination for tonight was Lunéville where there is a large and impressive chateau and gardens adjoining the motorhome camping area which are free to enter.
It started to rain soon after we got here so I'll try later or tomorrow morning for some photographs.
We have an appointment with the vet tomorrow in Verdun for Louis worming treatment, so that's the main objective for tomorrow.
Some more photos of Turckheim this morning . . . . .
