Huningue to Turckheim - all in sunshine!

It rained all night, but the morning was bright and sunny - and so it remained all day for a change.
Our route north at first followed canals for about 20km until the Pont du Bouc. This was the scene of a terrible battle in WW2 in December 1944 which resulted in the liberation of Mulhouse, but only at the cost of 1500 lives. There was a small exhibition of a gun and tank with some explanatory boards. Sobering thoughts as we rode through the peaceful forest which had witnessed such horrible scenes.

 As we arrived in Alsace the road took us through vinyards and pretty villages. There were storks nesting in trees and on church towers.

We're camping at a nice campsite at Turckheim, which had its own resident storks happily strutting around the tents.
Turckheim I believe is lovely,  but we'll leave the exploration until the morning as we're too tired now.
