Schwarzwald

What do I say about 3 nights in the Schwarzwald (black forest)? It was a fantastic stay and I could happily spend our final 2 weeks there.

Staying in Bad Rippoldsau we were right in the heart of the northern black forest. We had endless wanderweges at our doorstep (we spent an entire day walking from breakfast until dinner), a waterfall across the road, picturesque small towns a short drive away and when feeling too isolated, the French city of Strasbourg was just over an hour to get to.

Our only downfall ... The fabulous Zum Letzten G'Stehr with it's warm hospitality and delicious food. Ben's highlight is the biggest and freshest slice of black forest cake and mine would have to be the locally caught trout baked with almonds and butter mmm. It would be so easy to stay put and get fat.
