I have become a real secondary-road navigating buff and found there are things I learn as I go. I have learned how to spot the good ones on a map, for example. If the line wiggles, that’s good. That means #mountains. If it appears to be the main route from a town to a city, that’s bad. The best ones always connect nowhere with nowhere and have an alternate that gets you there quicker. If you are going northwest from a large town you never go straight out of town for any long distance. You go out and then start jogging north, then west, then north again, and soon you are on a secondary route that only the local people use.

The main skill is to keep from getting lost. Since the roads are used only by local people who know them by sight nobody complains if the junctions aren’t posted. And often they aren’t. When they are it’s usually a small sign hiding unobtrusively in the weeds and that’s all. Country road-sign makers seldom tell you twice. If you miss that sing in the weeds that’s *your* problem, not theirs. Moreover, you discover that the highway maps are often inaccurate about country roads. And from time to time you find your #CountryRoads take you onto a two-rutter and then a single rutter and then into a pasture and stops, or else it takes you into some #farmer’s backyard.

So I navigate mostly by dead reckoning, and deduction from what clues I find. With that mindset and a lack of pressure to „get somewhere“ it works out fine and I just about have #Europe all to myself.

Hotel Neu-Schönstatt

5/5 Excellent

"The hotel was very comfortable and well appointed. The scenery was beautiful and there were paths nearby for walks. The church bells and cowbells provided a nice ambience. We did not realize that the hotel was part of a campus that included the Sisters Of Mary when we booked but it was a nice surprise when we arrived. "
