Alsacia y Gran Este 2 De Estrasburgo a la Línea Maginot.

Estrasburgo, la ciudad de las ciudades, primero alemana, después francesa, sede de múltiples centros europeos. Un casco antiguo muy interesante, comunicada por ferrocarril con una gran estación y a dos pasos de Alemania.

Esta Ruta va al encuentro de algunas construcciones de La Línea Maginot., de la Primera Guerra Mundial. En Schoenenbourg, está esa construcción a 30 m de profundidad, con unas galerías de varios kilómetros, escondida en un bosque.

A Quiet Day in Langensoultzbach

We woke up this morning to rain.  Our first in Alsace.  We had nothing on the agenda, so we hung out reading, writing, computing and doing laundry.  After lunch we realized that  we only had two more days to enjoy this region. A look at a map indicated that Hunspach, voted one of the most beautiful villages in France, was a short drive from here.  A bonus was that there was another Maginot Line bunker in Schoenenbourg right next door.  Steve had thought about going back to the Four-a-Choux bunker near Langensoultzbach.  Our trip out fulfilled his history need and my need to see some more countryside.

We made the short drive to Hunspach, only to decide that most the villages we passed through we equally lovely (and more interesting), and ours is best of all.  Hunspach was pretty, but it looked like everyone was ordered to follow a scheme - white half-timbered houses with black shutters, plus red geraniums in the window boxes. On their own charming, but an entire village, dull.

Next stop, Schoenenbourg.  There were many more people at the bunker than I would have guessed. One full busload of teens, plus a constant line of seniors pulling up in cars.  It is so far out of the way, down a narrow one-lane road through a dark forest.  We checked out the tour.  It was self-guided.  Steve was interested.  Emma and I went back to the car to listen to a German radio station we found yesterday.  It plays a rotation of 80s songs, current pop hits and kind of strange German poppish songs from an era we couldn't determine.  We were waiting for the German ones!

Another stop a the excellent Super U Supermarche in Woerth (we now know is pronounced "vert"), then home.

We are desperate to go to Germany tomorrow, but I can't find a city nearby that seems worth the drive.  We will have to be creative on our last full day.  We are going to visit a small Greco Roman museum at the church in Langensoultzbach.  Also we have a invitation to dessert in the garden tomorrow night.
