Again we startle hares and are watched by a deer standing in a green barley stalls. We have discovered that all little local bakers shops provide at least take-away-coffee, or a little table to sit at; very useful.
On the map it looked like we were going to tackle 600 ft hills on unmade forestry tracks, but they turn out to be tarmac; the road of the trip, car free and through sun-dappled beech forests. The tidiest farms yet, timber framed with huge tiled roofs, the barn roofs covered with solar panels. Ponies, horses, llamas, and dark sheep and lambs in meadows. A schloss is impressive.
Yet another group of "older" cyclists sweep towards us, all on E-bikes.
