Day 3: Freiburg Market & Sustainability Tour - Farms/ Wind Turbines

Today started off a little rainy, but we were fortunate to get a beautiful afternoon in the Black Forest.

We began exploring the morning market that is held around the large church tower we climbed yesterday.

We continued by visiting Castle Hochburg, two farms to see various energy sustainability items in actual use, and a couple wind turbines up close and from the inside.  Finally, we enjoyed a meal of all items produced at a third farm. 

We were on the outing for 7.5 hours.  Between the outing and morning market exploring, we logged 7 miles of walking.

Update:  Photos available here.





Day 2: Freiburg Hike

Off to an excellent start!  Hiked up the church tower, up the hill...they should sleep well this evening.

Approaching 7 miles of walking today.
