Lab hiking

Last friday we took the time to have a lab outing. Weather was a bit uncertain but we did a nice 15 km walk around the Mont Saint-Odile, with some highlights like an unexpected detailed explanation about Ottrott’s castles, a picnic under the rain, a short visit of Hohenbourg abbey and a miraculous water tasting…. Congratulations to all the hikers !
