This was a very long day of driving, hiking, and shopping. In the morning we walked to this morning's farmers market for some snacks and a light breakfast. The variety and quality of goods was honestly impressive. We had coffee and apple waffles from a little trailer and then picked up some fresh apples, strawberries, and bread. We still had a little bit of leftover sausage snacks and nuts from a few days before. The scenic drive through the Black Forest region was lovely. Occasionally we had to take a detour off of the main highway due to an extensive road closure however the small villages that we went through were very pretty.
Hans drove us to the Burgbach Wasserfall, the tallest single-drop fall in the Black Forest. To reach the falls it's a very easy hike through the woods and up a little bit of rocks. As you can see below we took the bulk of our pictures for the day on this hike.
Waffles and produce!
The rest of our day was occupied by driving around to various little towns and shops. We went to the last active Black Forest glass works in Wolfach and ended our tour in the town of Triberg, home of the House of a Thousand Clocks! We had many opportunities to buy ourselves an authentic Cuckoo Clock from a very nice wood carving shop but instead we purchased some other (but also good quality) crafts.
We were pretty exhausted upon our return to Baden-Baden so we picked up some take-away pizza around the corner from our hotel and did some relaxing. Before getting dinner I took some pictures of the town at twilight.
