DAY 36 - MUNSTER to COLMAR (Monday 22 May)

Today was a relatively short, flat walk, mostly along a cycleway. Before we set out from Munster, we took another look at the storks, which are nesting on the top of several of the town's buildings.

We had a bit of a wander around Munster before we left this morning
The cycleway out of Munster followed a creek for a while. It skirted a couple of villages before heading for a forest to take us on to Wintzenheim. The path was being well used by numerous cyclists and the odd jogger.

We had our picnic lunch on the way. 
Wintzenheim is an attractive,  well spread out village, with half-timbered houses and vineyards on the neighbouring hills.  We sauntered through the village on our way in to Colmar.

Once in to Colmar, we found our way to our accommodation in the middle of the old town.
