Thirty members of Moraga Boy Scout Troop 212 (16 Scouts, 14 dads) recently returned from a 14-day bicycle trek to Germany, their sixth trip in the past 20 years. Arriving in Munich, they cycled to Donauworth, then Dinkelsbuhl, Schwabish Hall, and finally to Rothenberg. Taking a train to Salzburg, they then went to Berchtesgaden with a trip to the local Salt Mine and Hitler's Eagle Nest, before biking over the Alps to Traunstein. The last day, cycling back to Munich, was a long 65 miles. The total trip was over 275 miles with a total elevation gain of over 15,000 feet. Bike treks are part of the troop's high adventure program and occur every three years. Other destinations include the Oregon Coast ride and the Canadian Rockies ride from Calgary to Jasper.
