leutkirch im allgäu, DE

what a nice stop-over at our tour to matterhorn / switzerland in leutkirch im allgäu, in the federal state of baden-württemberg (BW), germany (DE). why leutkirch? well, we were hungry and decided to eat cheap in germany before we'd cross the swiss border ... well, my daughter and me have paid 70-80 euro for 2 main dishes and 1 drink each (or 3 in total?) ... which is not cheap, if you asked me. at least we've been conditioned to pay 80-90 swiss francs later 😂
