Neuf-Brisach

What a job getting out of Mulhouse! Ended up following this route, EV5. The London to Brindisi in Italy trail. We’ll get back on EV15 at ColmarOk for a while then the signs became ambiguous , then disappeared ! Ended up back near Mulhouse. Finally found a metal track running beside the old RhΓ΄ne Rein canal, at least it was pointing in the right directionThis canal isn’t used for boats anymore and so on each lock they have a power plant using the old Archimedes wheel principal. Clever idea to get maximum power from a small flow. When a side road appeared we were glad to get off the metal.We’d come out into Defence force land. The sign says “NO ENTRY when shooting is happening”. Fastest 5 kms we’ve ever done !We came back onto a proper road at Munchouse. Aptly names because we stopped there for lunch. It’s flat cropland through this part of the Alsace and the roadside has cherries , just ripe , growing alongside. I couldn’t help grazing. Yum πŸ˜‹ FINALLY its only been 50kms but seemed to take forever. Neuf-Brisach is the village inside the last Vauban fort he built for king Louis the 14th. Our hotel is right in the middle , charming but the worst internet yet so I won’t try any more photos
