Whilst in Wel Am Rhein we were treated to an  excursion to Hochblauen  in the Black Mountains(1165mplus 17m observation tower) with 360 degree views panoramic views over the three countries of Switzerland, France and Germany.  At the top we were treated to a glass or two of local wine and cake. 

We then drove to Badenweiler with a walk through the castle grounds and the best preserved roman baths north of the Alps. A few of us climbed the castle keep for yet more spectacular views.

We then continued to the State Horticultural Show in Neuenburg on Rhein, where we also had lunch.  We spent the afternoon exploring the gardens which covered some 23 hectares.
