Mannheim is home to BASF factories. They are massive & employ over 30,000 people. The picture below shows company bikes for employees to use around site. This is just one of many !

We had high hopes for Worms – it’s one of the oldest cities in Europe. Hopes were dashed – its a dump !
We did find a nice restaurant and ordered tarte flambé. We thought this would be like French tarts & there was a choice of savoury fillings. So we ordered one a piece and a bucket of chips cos we’re hungry.
Oh what a mistake that was. Tarte flambé in germany is a pizza and they were huge – see picture below…

We only ate half and asked for a doggy bag for the rest !
One thought on “Rhine Cycle Route: Day 16”
How can too much food be a disaster? You’re really not trying! 😂
