A Walk in the Black Forest

We stayed at Staufen which is situated on the edge of the Black Forest about 50 klm north of the Swiss border. The heatwave in central Europe has followed us here and the days have been very hot. Our first day was spent in the local pool and a quick walk into town to see the old buildings and cobbled streets.

Day 2 we walked up the valley to the next village. While waiting for a train back we had a quick lunch in the local restuarant. I thought I had ordered a green salad but it turned out to be a shredded spam salad - thank goodness Stephen's schnitzel was enough for two. Then we missed the train back and had to walk!

Yesterday, our last day, we went on a guided walk through the forest. We ended up at a mountain chalet for a BBQ lunch with plenty of beer followed by some good old german music.
