ON7DQ Friedrichshafen 2022 - Day 5

From Freiburg to Friedrichshafen

Day 3 and 4 were spent in Freiburg, with a visit of the city and some shopping. No SOTA.

Also on day 5 no SOTA activations, just driving from Freiburg to Friedrichshafen, but with some SOTA summits in view .

We made a short stop at the Titisee.

From the lake, one can easily see the summit of Hochfirst, DM/BW-015, which I have activated twice.

At noon we arrived at the nice motorway stop called "Rastanlage Hegau West" (GPS: 47.861237, 8.785930). The food is not cheap but of excellent quality, and from the terrace you can see the three "Hegau Volcanoes". See pictures below. There is also a small unmanned tourism office where you can pick up free tourist documentation and maps of the region.

I have activated two of those summits on a previous trip, but the Hohentwiel Fortress was closed that year because of falling rock (see my previous report here). 

The plan was to activate it for sure this time, but the weather was too hot, and we decided to go shopping in an airconditioned shopping mall instead, hi.

So far for my SOTA plans.
