Well, we’re here in Hahndorf, named after a town in Germany. It also has many original buildings with the traditional fachwerk architecture that gives the town a decidedly German look and feel. Just as Covid began we were planning to walk across Bavaria where the real Hahndorf lives and coming here was pure coincidence.

It is too late to walk today (except for my daily 10kms that I walk when we are reviving and surviving in beautiful country towns) so preparations have been made for a start tomorrow. Fortunately we brought a present from a good friend: ’Walks in the Adelaide Hills’. Thanks Larissa, we could not have done without it because the information office did not have any written material. 

However, one of the staff and a traveller who had walked the hills, offered their personal thoughts and feelings of the tracks. Very frankly, they both told me what tracks to walk and what not to, as she separated the newly tarred human highways from the more difficult and remote ones, which I choose, to challenge my ‘Parkinsons’.

See you tomorrow on a track somewhere.
