The subject just means: More fungi pics. After yesterday’s biking trip, today’s weather invited for a hiking tour. There are still a lot of things to map in the Bienwald which I cannot map by bike. Today I mapped the Heilbach, a small stream which drains the Bienwald via the river Rhine. As this probably was the last hiking tour before autumn, I guess there will be almost no further fungi pics until then. So here we go:
Somehow reminds me of a butterfly:
If the bike is your main vehicle you will have some accidents every now and then. I denied to use a helmet for a very long time now, mainly as the standard ones just make you look (and feel) like a parrot.
I finally ended with a red Alpina D-Alto L.E.. Not an el-cheapo one, but I got it at a reasonable price from an online shop which just dumped its stores. It only weights about 250 gramms and is easy to adjust to your head. You’ll barely notice it while biking. If you can afford the 90€, I can recommend this one.
I need to urge myself to use it every time when using the bike now. Of course I hope I will never need it.
The weather was really excellent the last two days, almost spring. So I did the first biking tour in 2009 yesterday. Only about 50 kilometers, but hey, it was the first tour this year – the season began :) .
In addition to former history mapping I visited an ancient roman highway. The remains I mapped are part of a huge highway, which went from Strasbourg over Speyer, Mainz, Cologne and Xanten to the north sea. There’s a project of the european union which aims at resurrecting this road for educational/recreational/touristic purposes. I started to the west of Hagenbach, where you can see a replica of a »Leugenstein«:
