After long discussion and searched on the net, I finally made my mind, I need the mountain, forest, waterfalls and long hikes, I need some greens in my life, this Corona things really doing my head, I need to go away to my happy place, I missed green, I missed water, I missed the silent. I grab my gear and jumped to my car for a long road trip to the beautiful Black Forest.
A paradise for peace seeker, beautiful nature, friendly folks and amazing architectures and Wine , lots of wine and beer! Also in 2020 Black Forest has chosen to be Germany’s most beautiful hiking trails.
The Baden-Baden Panoramaweg leads around 45 km around Baden-Baden and into the Black Forest. Here, too, you can include a mountain railway in the tour and take the longway of the same name to Baden-Baden's local mountain, Merkur. The Panoramaweg is a circular route and can be divided into any number of stages. There are several entries and exits points that can be easily reached by car or public transport.
8 hours on the road, we arrived death tired at our cabin in the middle of nowhere, Bad Rippolsau-Schapbach, with an amazing view just right in front of my door, just 15 minutes’ drive to historic city Freudenstad, I feel free and happy… Bad Rippoldsau-Schapbach has the highest mineral and mud spa of the Black Forest and is located in the wild and romantic Wolf valley.
I can’t help to visit the Alternative Wolf and Bear Sanctuary, was so sad to see all those bears and wolf has been treated really bad as Circus attraction, really gratefu that those beautiful creatures finally able to live freely and been good taking care off.
Hiking towards the Galsswaldsee and the Burgbachwassefall , I feel so small and grateful, really fortunate to be here and enjoyed the silence.
I am such as sucker for waterfall… and we decided to drive for about 45 minutes from our place to one of the country’s finest natural sights. It’s famously known as Germany’s highest waterfall, a place of myths and legends that inspired fairy tales and folklore. The seven-level waterfall originates with the river Gutach and creates a dramatic sight. Even more so after heavy rainfall, or during the winter. Starting with a winding path, visitors make their way into the first section of the falls to find a beautiful sight. Crystal clear waters sliding down the falls, how can you be grumpy?
Another day another waterfall hunt, today we hiked to All Saint waterfall, a series of small all-season waterfalls tumbling over apparently seven drops within the Schwarzwald National Park, it’s called All Saint due to the Allerheiligen Monastery that dated back to Roman times, which was well upstream of the Allerheiligen Waterfalls, really steep natuur stair towards the bottom. I would never forget this particular hike as we made mistake chosen the wrong entrance about 6 meters down towards the other direction, hiking down was no problem, but hiking up to the main entrance was another story, I was almost regret to be born J .
I spent 10 whole days hiking and discovering the mountain, deep in the bush, picnicking and lots and lots beer drinking, it was an amazing trip and I will definitely return and next time I am going to carry my Timberland hiking shoes, as my sport shoes was not a good decision.
