[Paddlewise] # 1025 - Sandy Travelling Germany

Hi Sandy -
nice to hear thar you will be over here later this month. Since I live 2,5
hrs south of Baden-Baden here´s my two penny of advice:
Best way from Dusseldorf to Baden-Baden will be by train. As soon as you
give me date of arival I could check out when trains leave for Baden-Baden
and how much ticket are.
Talking about tulips: How about visiting the Mainau - an island in Lake of
Constance - known for early blooming. There should be lots of tulips, though
not fields (and lots of water around 8-). Water temp. at the moment is 5°C
in 1 meter depth, air temps 15°C but changing up and down (marvellous
sunshine, slight haze at the moment). Yesterday afternoon I went approx 20
kms from Konstanz (Lake of Constance) home to where I live. It was a nice
and quiet trip - at the start the snowy peaks of the Alps were in sight,
later saw lots of birds (of which I dont know the english name:
Heringsmöwen, roter Milan, Braungänse) and met some kayakers, too - but
still not too much at this time of the year: only hardcore-paddlers are on
the water.
You could even rent a kayak at Kai Oberacks "La Canoa" in Konstanz.
Any other questions? Contact me off-list through fichtmueller_at_gmx.de
Frank
