Cuckoo clocks and cake - The Black Forest, Germany


We visited three towns in the Black Forest - Schiltach, Triberg and Wolfach.  Schiltach was our first stop, a pretty traditional village with flower baskets along the river.  Triberg was a complete Black Forest cliche town for tourists - every second shop sold cuckoo clocks.  We also tried Currywurst here (frankfurter with tomato sauce and curry powder) - not recommended!

We stumbled on Wolfach on our way back to the campground, a tiny village with flags and cafes all down the main street.  Most of our day was spent wandering around the village streets.  Not a lot more to write about - we think the photos pretty much speak for themselves - it really is a beautiful place.
