Black Forest
You are now in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald)...... be careful as there are werewolves, scorcers, witches and devils believed to inhabit the area. Good thing is there are dwarfs to balance the scales!

Now this is what I call a cake!! I tried a small piece of Black Forest Cake in Baden Baden and it was very light as the filling and frosting are both whipped cream.
This VW is topped with the famous Bollenhut (pompom hat) which also adorns women on traditional holidays.
Sausages and more sausages... you are in Germany!!
This house was brought down from the upper forest. It was owned by the same family since the 1600's.
The girls had bedrooms and the boys slept in the loft above the cows. They fed the cows by dropping hay down from the loft and the heat from the cows rose up to keep them warm at night.
