REEL 4. The Schurz group travels by bus through rural landscape. In Rothenburg, they pass under stone archways and by Bavarian shops. Student with two birds. They go to Augsburg. A woman pumps water from a fountain. They drive through Landsberg, where Hitler was once imprisoned after the Beer Hall Putsch. The tour continues in the country. They take a break to swim and lay on the dock. More Bavarian landscape and villages. It rains, but the sunshine returns as they drive into the valley of Oberammergau.
