And about 2500 meters of altitude. On the map the two campsites are about 12 km apart, so what did I do in the meantime? Of course coffee & cake..... not. In the morning, 8 o'clock, go and high to the Feldberg, had a plan, but after no traffic, I thought I take the highway up. Good plan, went on. And again I was reminded of 2012. At that time I was long before Willi up and suddenly started with me so a really bad feeling. Heart palpitations, malaise, thoughts of escape.... Really a panic attack, my very first. I didn't know what was going on. Willi still makes fun of it today, and so do I. We are then not quite up, Willi also did not want to push up to the top. 2018 the second attempt, by me alone, if you are already in anticipation of a panic attack, increased heartbeat plus fear of heights, what do you get? Right. At the time, however, I was prepared and knew what was coming and went up. And today? Nothing! Why? No plan, as if nothing ever was. Doesn't mean it won't be the same next time. Anyway . Was up there, took pictures, talked to people and went on again. Panorama ride, down, up again and down again, direction Kirchzarten to drive at Oberried via Zastler back to the Feldberg, just under 900 meters altitude on 10 km. Good plan, I also knew the way, from 2020 or 2021? Do not know more. At that time I am from Freiburg to Genoa to make there with my (future ex-) wife vacation. That was a ride. Honestly, the first day was hell, after the ascent I had a flat tire in the forest, not too bad, if there would not be the air pump verreckt (China import of a lightweight floor pump, the China things are always great, the first time use, but then, scrap, quality is something else). In any case, I stood there in the forest and was allowed to push, was quite mountainous, until an older E-bike couple took pity on me and stopped for me. They even gave me their pump (wanted to give them money, but they refused). Nevertheless, I had lost quite a bit of time and I still wanted to Konstanz (it was not my only flat tire that day, 3 pieces!!). Since then I always have two pumps with me, and still the one from the couple. Anyway, today the rise in attacked, down it had well over 30ig degrees, a few years ago I drove that in the morning, much less exhausting. But I arrived today as then at the top. Then it went on to the Feldsee and finally to the campsite and on the shore to Schluchsee, where I do what? Right wait for the sunset. Whether I do tomorrow again the Feldberg, or yet what else I do not know yet, we'll see tomorrow. My legs pinch quite and my ass feels just also no longer virgin. Let's decide tomorrow spontaneously, because tomorrow is tomorrow, today is today. Carpe diem in this sense
