A walk in the woods

The coach on Sunday took us to Munster, where a festival of mountain horns was in preparation, but not destined for our ears
 

 

We walked a 9.5 km circle into the Vosges foothills, "moderately strenuous", rising from 344m to 582m.  A break for as much Munster and Beaufort cheese as we wished, and several valley views were the highlights.
 
 
 

On our descent we saw a chap working on house maintenance and gave him a cheery bonjour, which he returned, but then heard English voices and revealed himself as Australian that this was the gite where he spends 8 months of the year, and September- January in Aust.

  1. Hmm, so you didn't hear the horns? The walk sounds preferable notwithstanding the climbing!
