A light walk near Kaysersberg

Today was a loop walk from Kaysersberg up into the hills and back.

These are nice because you can adjust the walk if you want to. I headed out. The first couple of miles were on lightly used roads and then unpaved forest tracks. Those are great for me, not too steep and not too rocky.

My hotel is just outside the town gate and below the ruins of the old castle.

As you can see, it was very cloudy with rain forecast for the afternoon.

The road went out through the suburban residential areas. They are very nice, with lots of flowers and trees.

Then it went up into the woods. Lots of tall trees on the hillsides through here.

While I have walked a lot in the woods, I haven't seen much wildlife. There may have been a deer yesterday, going up a hill very fast through the woods, but I just got a glimpse. There are supposed to be squirrels but I haven't seen any of them. (How can there be so many oak trees and no squirrels? It was the same last fall. The ground was covered with acorns and not a squirrel in sight.)

So here is my big wildlife sighting.

There was a caution sign for batraciens. I doubt they are big enough to do much damage if you hit one though. I despite the image on the sign I had to look up batraciens. It translates to Batracians. So I had to look that up. It's amphibians, of a certain class. The frog class I'm guessing. But a frog is a grenouille, so I really don't know. I also didn't see any.

When the trail turned to "steep and rocky" I headed back to town.

In town, the flowers are blooming.

I got back to town in time to have some lunch and get back to the hotel before the thunderstorm!

So a pleasant, easy day; only about 5 miles and 800 feet.

Tomorrow it's on to Bergheim, with my hotel at the end of the hike, so no slouching tomorrow.
