A wet summer in Germany is referred to as 'English' which won't amuse anyone in the UK at all, as I understand the weather continues to be wet and wild. Having chatted to some locals we learnt that the Black Forest is known as the sunniest part of Germany. The weather has been really hot and sunny, which suits us well. There was the occaisional thundestorm overnight last week, but the hot spell came to an abrupt end on Saturday night. The most incredible storm. The hail on the roof sounded as though we were under attack from golf balls. The golf war, you could say.
Last week we went on three hikes in the area surrounding our base in Oppenau. All the trails are clearly signed and well maintained. They were challenging for me as I haven't been able to do much walking over the last couple of years. But I was very proud of myself as we covered 33 miles in total last week.
