We spend most of the day here, having a sausage in a bun for lunch. We… Continue reading Basel to Colmar

Since it starts getting dark around 4 pm, you need to start early enough. Today we walk through the Tier-Freigelände, which is a free zoo spread over 2 km². the… Continue reading a walk through the zoo
