New Second Favorite Pastime

Biking in the Taunus Mountains, just behind Oberursel, has been more fun than a box of monkeys! Hundreds of trails are well-mantained, somewhat marked, and seem to go on endlessly. They head up into the peaks (which are really just large hills - 800m) and interconnect surrounding villages. On the weekends, so many people are out biking or running or walking. We have come across a few small cafes nestled into overlooks, only accessible by trail, where you can break for cake and coffee.

Going for a Sunday morning drive up the mountain.

Random statues in the woods.

Kuchen the size of my head at the top! This was one of the little restaraunts along the trail...excellent split pea soup.

Blackberries everywhere!

Spencer at the top of The Feldberg, the local "peak".
