ON7DQ Friedrichshafen 2024 - Day 3

This day, we started our visit of the "Romantische  Straße" in the city of Würzburg. There is ample parking space at "Die Residenz", pos 49.793101, 9.937305


The walk included the very nice garden which is part of the Residenz, some remarkable buildings in the old center of Würzburg and the old bridge over the Main river with a nice view of the Marienberg Fortress.


In the afternoon, we went to the "Center of the European Union". Over time, this center has moved a couple of times, and since Brexit (2020) it is now in the village of Veitshochheim, parking is at pos 49.844993, 9.904720. 


There are no spectacular views there, but it just felt special to stand in the middle of ... nowhere, hi.


Of course, I didn't plan this short visit without a hidden agenda ... there was a SOTA summit nearby !

DM/BM-380, Breitfeldhöhe - 387m, 2 points

This is an easy drive up summit. If you like, you can drive up to the model airplane field (Modellflugplatz on the map), park your car at pos 49.893487, 9.872576, and set up your station, the parking is in the activation zone. But just to have some exercise, we walked to the bench at pos 49.897451, 9.868335, close to the real summit. It's an almost flat 600m walk. First you encounter this summit marker.



Then a bit further is a comfy operating spot.


This summit brought me 27 QSO's , and one third of those were S2S, wow!
Map of the QSO's, still no DX in sight ...
