Sunday 21 May 2017

Kaysersberg to Meersberg - 124 miles
 Warm bright sunshiney day and as it's Sunday bacon and eggs for breakfast! But a couple of the eggs were off and the mushrooms a bit iffy, although today there were sausages! Sad isn't it?

No rush to get away and headed east to Colmar, missing a turn and ending up in the centre which actually wasn't a problem, crossing the Rhine just east of the town and into Germany. Then using a variety of motorways and fast roads we headed generally east and south, past Lake Titisee, which was probably heaving with tourists.

Paused for lunch near Giesengen then chose another destination from the route plan for our overnight stop, this time Meersberg halfway down the eastern side of Lake Constance, or Bodensee as it's known in Germany. A busy place but found the stellplatz easily enough and chose the quieter section just further along the road from the main area which was packed. Plenty of room and much more pleasant, even if it is closer to the main road skirting the town.


Bodensee

Neuschlosse
















We'd stopped ealier than usual today so after some welcome refreshment we took Jamie into the Altstadt, or old town, for a mooch. Another picturesque place and we found ourselves on the terrace of the Neuschlosse, overlooking almost the entire length of the lake. So there being a cafe, a refreshing drink was obviously in order which we enjoyed sat in brilliant warm sunshine. Until we were thrown out at closing time (no, really we'd finished our drinks and the staff were just clearing up).

So back up the hill to the van, checking out the stellplatz facilities, and our tea.

Where we stayed
Stellplatz at Parking Allmend, Ergeten (follow parking signs in town) N47º42.097' E9º16.345'.
Room for about 40 vans on gravel hardstanding, in two sections. Toilets, water, waste and electricity on first section, extra cost. Altstadt with shops, restaurants and attractions 10 mins walk down hill.

8 for 24 hrs. There is additional motorhome parking nearby next to a wine merchant, off the roundabout.
