After lunch, we moved to Freiburg in a hurry. We, the citizens' group, were scheduled to join another group at a municipal facility called Ökostation and learn what the ecological education was like in Freiburg. The train track along the road on the way to Freiburg seemed to be built with immense labor and I could take a picture of the railroad bridge through the window, which looked so old. I'm an enthusiastic railroad fan.
By the way, I had a question about this train track and the road on which we were then. I wondered about the same question four years ago. I asked the translator about it. His answer was simple and totally acceptable. My question was why this route, both the railroad track and the road, were poor in their transportation ability. I knew the road lead to Munich. I thought it should be wider and less winding to carry more freight and people. Why wasn't the autobahn constructed through the Black Forest? The answer: the war or regional conflict had been taken into consideration. German people feared that the troops could invade from the east. So, the capacity of transportation in the east-west direction is far worse than in the north-south direction.
One of the pictures shows my daughter, who is a good German speaker, giving an interview from the local media in the main building of Ökostation.
