Eurovelo 6: Germany - the good and the bad

 A brave cyclist?
The Danube bike trail in Germany is not as crowded as its counterpart in Austria - but equally interesting. I even found out that there are trail angels in Germany! I was cycling on a really rainy day (something quite normal!) and fled into a bakery to eat something. Sitting there and chewing some wonderful Sachertorte I started talking to the lady running the shop about my bike trip. She was awfully impressed and when I left she gave me some nice pastry as a present because "I am so brave!"

But I have also been victim to vandalism: When I had parked my bike outside a McDonalds (shame on me) in Ingolstadt, somebody had broken the tray of my map holder - apparently just for fun. I could buy a new one the next day but the thing costs 25 EUR and I was pretty annoyed. I didn't expect vandalism in a nice Bavarian town like Ingolstadt.
