On the map
FOG: Fog of War Walking Map starts with New Braunfels under fog and clears it only where you physically walk. In a town this size the downtown comes out of the dark in whole blocks in an afternoon, and it stays cleared. No start button, no workout to end: it runs with the app closed and the screen off, and it needs no signal.
Somewhere to eat afterwards is on the New Braunfels festival page.
