Day 10: Tarmac

Todays hiking was dominated by tarmac. At first I had to walk through Regensburg. It turned out to be quieter and better than expected! It seems like a nice town, and people were sitting relaxed outside in the sun in front of coffee shops with their coffee. 

However, it got busier later on. Close to the Donau on a sunny Sunday, it's busy with people hiking and especially biking. It reached its climax on the Walhalla, a famous monument near Regensburg. People walked up there with food, drinks, dogs and kids. Having a picnic up there, looking on to the Donau is obviously THE thing to do on a Sunday! It was too much for me, so I quickly walked down again, passed a chaotic car park and got back on tarmac to continue the flat hike in the Donau Valley. 

Late in the afternoon, I left the tarmac, when I passed Wörth and walked up into the forest. What a pleasure to walk up the little Wellerbach on a quiet, shaded forest trail. 

I didn't walk much further, but camped directly past Hub in the forest, since the trail was going down in a valley again and I was afraid that it might be a cold night there.
