Day 8: České Budějovice to Krems an der Donau, 21 June 2022
to enjoy the rest of the rally - and a great lunch of soup and
a schnitzel at the Time Control in Unterweißenbach.
The afternoon was a little less intense with only two
Regularities through the stunning, and very well surfaced,
Weinsberger Wald. The first from Pitzeichen and the second
over the Grosser Berg giving the crews some fine views and
a set of testing hairpins. A downhill run plunged the rally
towards the Danube and the night halt in the Steigenberger
Hotel in Krems an der Donau where they proudly produce
Marillenschnaps, an apricot brandy.
It’s been a day to remember and, as well as all of the Czech
marshals, special thanks must go to Pavel Kacerovsky for
facilitating the border crossing formalities.
