Basel - Freiburg

Reported by Dipavajan Renner 79.0 km

Welcome to Germany!

We left Switzerland via Basel and arrived at the primary school "Hans Thoma" in Weil at the river Rhein. The kids gathered for an enthusiastic welcome!

...we gathered at the school yard...

...and the school gave us an excellent musical welcome!

...the children enjoyed our presentation...

...we passed the peace torch...

...and the kids led us on a fun-run around the school...

Thank you "Hans Thoma Schule" for the great welcome!

"High Five" on the way out...

...soon he reached Haagen near Lörrach...

The childen from the "Schlossbergschule Haagen" lined up...

It is really great to see how well the kids do in our country-guessing game...

...morning exercises...

...a very organised run around the school...

Thank you "Schlossbergschule Haagen" for the fun!

...we went on to the local sport field in Lörrach, where a football tournament was in process...

...we entered with the torch...

...and gave a short presentation...

...a symbolic lap for peace!

...it was time for us to enter the Black Forest, one of Germany's most beautiful regions!

...reaching Freiburg, our today's final stage...

Our gratitude to "Hotel Schloss Reinach" in Freiburg-Munzingen...

..."Hotel Oberkirch" in Freiburg...

...and to "Hotel Faller Hof" in Bad Krozingen-Hausen for hosting our Peace Run Team!
