Triberg – III
Today more pictures of the waterfall in Triberg, Germany. I leave it to you to decide if the view is worth the five-euro admission price. More from Triberg tomorrow, though I haven’t decided yet if it will be pictures from the hiking trails or shots taken around town. Stay tuned for further details…
Triberg – II
As I begin to go through my pictures of Germany’s highest waterfall in the Black Forest village of Triberg, I have come to the conclusion there are lots of nice ones to share. So today, and tomorrow, and maybe even the next day I am going to do just that. Yes, I could post them […]
Triberg – I
As I paid the entrance fee it hit home. It was the first time my wife, my children and I had all been in Europe at the same time. The only person missing was my daughter-in-law, who couldn’t get the time off work. We have done very few tourist outings in our first ten months […]
Another Black Forest Walk
Sunday afternoon we took a walk through the forest outside Sulzburg in the direction of Bad Sulzburg. At one point there was a ramp down into the stream which runs alongside the path. I should know the name of the stream. It is the same one that runs past our apartment and through the village. […]
Black Forest Ramble – XII
Do you see it? Along the Lebensweg in the Black Forest above St. Ulrich, I came across this rock formation. I can’t decide if it looks more like a dog or a lion. Or maybe it is just a rock. What do you see?
Black Forest Ramble – XI
If you opened an ice cream parlour in the middle of nowhere, would people come? Apparently, especially if the ice cream is good. I guess that is why the Eckhof family started selling ice cream on their farm in 2002. When we stopped at Berglusthaus (see yesterday’s post) on a detour from our exploration of […]
Black Forest Ramble – X
One of the delights about not having a set schedule is that it allows you to explore without time constraints. That is why the four-kilometre “Lebensweg” walk above the village of St. Ulrich took us about four hours to complete. Given that our usual average walking pace is about four kilometers an hour, it would […]
Black Forest Ramble – IX
Today’s post is a pictorial follow-up to Sunday’s examination of St. Ulrich’s Church, located in St. Ulrich (where else) in the Black Forest.
Black Forest Ramble – VIII
When we entered the Lebensweg above the Black Forest village of St. Ulrich, we did so from behind the church from which the village takes its name. It was founded by St. Ulrich himself almost a thousand years ago, and the monastery he started is still attached to the church where he is buried. I […]
Black Forest Ramble – VII
My wife mentioned that the walk we were taking last Saturday above the village of St. Ulrich had a spiritual component, that it was kind of a mini-pilgrimage. I thought it might be like walking the stations of the cross, as many Roman Catholics do on Good Friday. I suppose that isn’t surprising – the […]
