Today we woke by the picturesque lake Titisee and headed reluctantly away into the black forest. We drove through gorgeous forested hills with some stunning views.
Lunchtime we stopped at Germany's highest (disputed by wikipedia) waterfall called the Triberg falls. These fall the through seven stages and generate enough electricity to power 1000 homes in the local town. They're quite a sight but not hugely spectacular. Quite a walk from top to bottom and back up again though.
After lunch was our first experience of the fabled German autobahn and I admit to a little flurry of excitement as the moment approached. So what did we find? Roadworks. Roadworks and 20mph traffic. Great. Eventually it cleared and we hit some space. I only took the van up to 80mph but we were passed at great speeds by others although it was so busy no one was really motoring. Not as impressed as I was expecting all told.
We drove on to the edge of the black forest and finally decided on a quiet little campsite with a little trout beck running through it. There we pulled up alongside a great looking black T5 California. I'm jealous and deffo want one!
This was to be our last night in Germany and we really liked the place. We'll be back.
