Adventures right on your doorstep: Used the weekend for a lovely canoe trip on the Blau river, through the beautiful reed landscape of Blaubeuren. Almost two hours of relaxing paddling and silent bird watching. Found a shopping trolley in the water, starled a pair of little grebes (in German: "Zwergtaucher") and their hatchlings and, finally, avoided the attack of a swan family (of eight!).
