If stage 3/5 was already blessed with prospects, this stage will top it. The Brandenkopf has never been more beautiful. In the background the Kniebis and Northern Black Forest. The view towards Elztal, Kandel and the southern Black Forest is also impressive. The Vosges are crystal clear today.

On the way many encounters with Ugandans, two beautiful lodges for lunch and break, views of the Bwindi Forest, Lake Mutanda and the four majestic volcanoes in the border…

The tour crosses the Bwindi Forest, home to half of all free-ranging mountain gorillas. A rancher accompanies us and explains animals and plants. A guard protects us in case we should meet forest elephants.
The trail is also used by locals as the only alternative would be a six hour drive around Bwindi Forest.

It was again a varied tour: a dam with a beautiful lake…
