Schengen (ca 11km) - celebrating 35 years German reunification
Details
Dear All,
Last year, we used this trail to celebrate 35 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall. This year, we celebrate 35 years of German reunification. There is an actual piece of the wall near the starting point.
We will start with the dreamloop called "Schengen without borders" leading south into France. Close to the end of that dreamloop we will switch to the autopedestre.
There'll be a lunch break on the plateau overseeing the valley. The view is worth the efforts to get there.
It's a beautiful trail with its share of slopes. Those might be slippery depending on the weather.
The European museum in Schengen was renovated and reopened this summer. Highlight of the new museum: you can enter the ship where the treaty was signed. Those who haven't visited it yet, take the chance.
There is a bus to Schengen from Gare Rocade at 10:00 (Nr 402 direction Nenning) arriving around 10:34. From there you'll have to walk to the Tourist Info / Europe museum.

Hope to see many of you on Sunday!
