Hiking in Germany

 

The Dragon Gorge

Last week I (Logan) did a lot of hiking.  On Wednesday my school went on a field trip up into the woods. We hiked for about three hours and stopped for lunch and came back.  Then on Saturday we went up into Der Drachenschlucht or The Dragon Gorge.  The hike was amazing.  There were places that were only a metre wide and the rock formations were really neat.  At the end there was a beer garden of course and we ate lunch there.  Papa, Kegan and I got schnitzels and Mama got a beef stew.  We walked above the ridge and went back home.  The next day,  Sunday, we, the Gershenzons and the Hartmanns, went up to Eisenach, a town about an hours drive from Jena.  The Gershenzons are another American family staying here, though they have lived here for fifteen years.  The Hartmanns are from French Canada and also have lived here a number of years.  We have done stuff with both families on previous trips.  In Eisenach we hiked up past an enormous vineyard.  On the side of the path there were grapes and we ate some of them.  A little while later we stopped and had lunch.  On the walk back we took a different route and it was significantly longer.  Over all I enjoyed hiking in Germany.
