8th June. Xonrupt Longemer

I had an early morning walk through the forest surrounding Etang de Hanau, hoping to see some wild animals, there were lots of birds.
I was amazed at how the campsite had emptied, there were only a few cars and vans still there.
I set off heading for Ballons de Vosges Natural Park, s/w of Strasbourg. The whole area is so Germanic. Instead of ending in ...ville as in the rest of France, it's ...willer. The architecture is steep roof's overhanging half-timbered or wooden houses, and huge barn's. Snowy winter's.
I chose Xonrupt for as my destination for it's name alone. I was spoilt for choice with campsites.
A day of sneezing seems to be a cold coming on, and it is much cooler than further north. I so enjoyed the warmth.
