Straussefest Contern (13km)

Hello Friends!

Jörg is always hungry, and we all want to go out for a nice walk. This weekend, we can kill 2 birds with one stone!

There is an ostrich farm (Straußenfarm, ferme d'autruches) in Contern, and this weekend they are open to the public for the "Straussefest", Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 7pm.

We're going to start in Contern near the "Hall Sportif" and do the "Guttland Trail Contern" with a little extension into the Dalheim forest.
After around 8km we will stop for the lunch break, but don't eat too much, Jörg promised that there will be ostrich available at the finish line.
At least some pâté and salami, I heard, and you can buy ostrich meat for your next barbecue.

Meeting Point:
We will meet at the "Hall Sportif" in Contern.
There's a huge parking lot behind the building.

The hike is at your own risk, and please make sure to wear proper shoes and bring some water for yourself!

Looking forward to hiking with you!

PS: We will not kill 2 birds; one stone would not be enough anyway. Do you have an idea about the size of these things?
