Day 4 - Black Forrest, Alps, and Titisee, Germany

April 28th

We woke in the morning to find it had been raining during the night. We had a wonderful breakfast - sausage links, the kind Grandma used to have as a kid from Fredrickson butcher, in Dyer. Grandma also had a soft boiled egg which was kept warm under a hand knitted chicken.


Around 11:15 we hit the road and headed for the Black Forrest. On the way we saw what seemed to be unlimited beautiful scenery, including snow on the ground the further up we went.







We stopped for a break to explore the tallest waterfall in Germany which has been running for 11 thousand years. It was great to see things our ancestors enjoyed centuries ago!

We drove on to a lake resort area in the Black Forrest call Titisee. After strolling the streets, stopping in the shops and looking at all the original Black Forrest gifts, including hundreds of different types of Cuckoo Clocks, we headed back to the hotel for a relaxed evening.



Driving 130 miles in and around the Black Forrest in one afternoon was worth the scenery and natural beauty.
