Culinary Volksmarch

Today was a perfect day for a 5K hike. We took a bus tour through the base RTT to Rheinhessen wine country for a Culinary Volksmarch. Ryan was fired up to ride the bus...

In a walk of between 5 and 10 kilometers we got to sample food and drinks that have made the region famous. There were about 10 catering stands that sold different samples of foods. We were encouraged to use our "Weinpass" booklet to purchase a sample of wine at each station.

I liked the Portuguese Rose and a drink called "Hugo"...it's made of Speco (sparkling wine), mineral water and mint leaves...I will have to make that sometime when we have friends over. It's a great summer drink.

The boys did a great job keeping up. They were little troopers and spent much of the time running the trail. The end of the march is in (again) a castle (upper left side of picture). The castle was constructed in the 1100s. When I can find the name of it, I will add it to this post.
