Pretty much straight out of the door and down the road and there was a huge hill to deal with. To be honest, I didn't deal with it. I walked.
Fortunately I found a bakery open in Nittendorf, so grabbed a coffee and a pastry. I mentioned to the lady that it was kalt, to which she replied "yes, summer is over!" Cheery.
Anyway, my path winded it's way across Bavaria and it soon became obvious that finding food and drink was going to be a problem. While all the towns and villages are immaculate, none seemed to have shops. The first place I arrived that did have a supermarket was Mühlhausen, so I stocked up!
The scenery was again very agricultural, with some forests. There were also huge tractors charging around the place as harvest was very much in progress.
Some of the towns and villages were old and walled, but I didn't stop to take photos as time was pressing.
In fact, by 3pm I was wondering if I was ever going to arrive in Rothenburg. Unfortunately the route I planned, while it used a lot of cycle routes, used a lot of unpaved cycle routes. Most were OK, some were no more than grassy paths and some were closed. The back-tracking and rerouting took quite a time and at 3pm I just took the direct route. A lot of this followed main roads, but fortunately most have cycle paths, so it's not necessary to mix with the traffic.
I eventually arrived at 7pm and just walked into the shower with my clothes on.
Now all I have to do is see if I can sort out tomorrow's route...
