Taking advantage of the nice weather, H and I got the camper from storage and prepared for the season with a weekend trip back to the Frankish wine islands, staying in the village of
Sommerach.
The vineyards waking up too for the spring, we took a long hike crossing the island and over the canal of the Main river through fields and pine forest in protected environment known as the
Sandfluren (inland dunes, the sandy areas reminding me of
trekking from Wiesbaden to Mainz under the bridges and over the islands) outside of
Volkach on the mainland.
Reaching the village of Dimbach, we headed back to the island over the
lock and weir at the southern part of the river loop at the Mainkanal.
In the distance, we could spy the twin steeples of the cloister
Mรผnsterschwarzach
with a cruise ship docked at the weir.
Exploring more of the landscape on the way back, we walked around the
village a bit, trying out that wine automat we saw on our last visit—it
wasn’t dumped out like a soda machine but rather a mechanical arm guided
our selection down to the flap—and had a late lunch before going back
to the camp grounds.
