05/08/2018: everything loaded, the water tank filled one third… Off to the Black Forest. More specifically the south and this up to Waldshut on the border with Switzerland, the “Hochschwarzwald”. We were already there 20 years ago and a second visit is well worth it. The starting distance (625 km) that we normally do in one day, we are now taking it easier. The first afternoon we spend in Mehring, a beautiful village on the Moselle. The stopover (with its restaurant) is right on the water. Fortunately, despite or thanks to the heat, there are no mosquitoes.
That shouldn't be more. Laze in a chair by the water, take a walk and then have a quiet drink on the terrace of the local restaurant.
Day 2
We drive towards Titisee. We had made a reservation at camping Bühlhof. The intention was to spend a few days on the spot. The site is located above a mountain and the road to it is very steep. An ideal environment for… mountain goats. The 170 hp of the engine was more than welcome. The campsite is old but very clean, the pitches are quite spacious, but certainly not flat. After the installation we explore the campsite and enjoy a beautiful evening.
Day 3
Today we walk to the town of Titisee on the lake of the same name. Walking there is no problem, despite the heat. Returning was a something else. The section from the main track to the campsite was, as said before, a hard nut to crack and not a job to be done on foot several times a day.
Lake Titisee is the most touristic lake in the Black Forest. A beautiful natural lake at an altitude of about 840 meters. In the town itself you will find numerous shops, restaurants. It is wonderful to stay here. In the main street are many souvenir shops, where you will find many black forest products such as hams and cherry marmalade, and many, many cuckoo clocks! We couldn't resist the local produce and bought black forest ham and "Wald" honey! Experienced walkers can walk around the lake. The pass is about 7 km long. You can make nice boat trips on the lake. With an excursion boat, rowing boat, pedal boat, or an electric boat. It is also a climatic health resort. It is not the largest lake, that is the Schluchse
Day 4
The weather is nice to enjoy the camping site. Despite the high temperatures, I (Dirk) decide to take a walk in the afternoon. One that starts at the campsite. The path to the edge of the forest was already very steep. When I got to the top of the forest, I was glad I could relax on a bench. A beautiful panoramic view and walking among the cows. That is the black forest at its best. At night, a heavy thunderstorm ensures that everything is refreshed.
Day 5
Freiburg, the main city of the Black Forest. It is still very warm. We park on a large camper stopover just on the outskirts of the city. After a brisk walk (we wisely return by tram) we take a look at the numerous historic streets and walk past city gates, the many town halls, market squares, through shopping streets and ... along the streams! Yes, be careful when you amble in the streets of the centre. In many streets there are still small open brooks (Bächle).
The Münsterkirche takes its place prominently. Many large department stores are located in the Kaiser Joseph Strasse.

While we enjoyed a nice meal on a terrace, we were actually surprised by a whirlwind. This travelled all over Freiburg. The heavy umbrellas all blew over, smaller ones took to the skies. Napkins, tablecloths, chair cushions, and even chairs started flying. We had to take our plates in haste and flee in the restaurant. After two minutes it was all over and the sun was shining again. Now some shopping (finally) and then on the tram. This for free! Thanks to our KONUS guest card.
When on holiday in the Black Forest, you will receive a Konus guest card at campsites or in your hotel or guest house.

The expression “KONUS” comes from the earlier universal key that train conductors once used to open buses and trains. This expression stands for free use of public transport for visitors to the entire Black Forest. There are some exceptions.
After arriving at your holiday destination, you can leave your vehicle behind and public transport (bus, tram, train, whatever) will take you anywhere you want, without worrying about a parking space.

We spend the night for the last time at camping Bühlhof in Titisee.
Day 6
Visiting Triberg turned out to be impossible due to a total lack of parking spaces, the mass of tourists and bicycles abandoned everywhere. The intention was to visit not only the "Black Forest Museum" but also the largest shop with cuckoo clocks. We drive on to Schonach for a visit to the, until recently, the largest cuckoo clock in the world and then on to the Schluchsee. In Schluchsee we just find a place on the camper place. This is located just on the artificial lake of the same name. The lake is three times bigger than the Titisee but not very touristy. This is our overnight stay for the next 2 nights.
Day 7
After a visit to and a walk around the nice town, we will go sailing on the lake in the afternoon with the tour boat. A boat that makes three stops around the lake. From those stops you can take beautiful walks on and around the lake. As usual, there is no Dutch information (but Chinese) on board, but if you listen carefully you can enjoy the German-language tour. Unless you enjoy a piece of cake, an ice cream or something liquid on the boat ...
Day 8
Our journey continues to Waldshut, a small old town on the Rhine and near the border with Switzerland. The beautiful (luxury) camper stopover is located next to the campsite (of which the showers and toilets are also for the campers) and has all facilities. A short walk along the Rhine takes you to the town full of beautiful old half-timbered houses, beautiful shops and terraces in the pedestrian Kaiserstrasse, which is enclosed on both sides by a striking city gate tower. In the middle of the street, water flows through a stone gutter. There are also three modern fountains.
On the terrace of a pastry shop we enjoyed the cake of the region: black forest cake; delicious!
Day 9
We skip across the Swiss border and visit the Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen. There is a parking (P4) for campers but as usual there are also many passenger cars in between. The message is to arrive early! You can stay overnight in the parking lot, but it is very expensive. This is probably due to the expensive Swiss franc!

The “Rhine Falls” are the largest waterfalls in Europe. You feel the roar of the water throughout your body. You can take a boat to the castles, in the basin of the Rhine Falls and even to the terrace on the rock in the middle.
You will be treated to a free, ice-cold shower from the splashing water. It is an impressive spectacle.
In the afternoon we return to Waldshut and the camper place for the night. In the town we get a heavy rain shower. Long live the ice cream salons as a hiding place. The portions of ice cream are also German sized, just huge.

06.08.2018 - Hochschwarzwald
05/08/2018: alles ingeladen, de watertank voor een derde gevuld… Op naar het Zwarte Woud. Meer specifiek het zuiden en dit tot in Waldshut aan de grens met Zwitserland, het “Hochschwarzwald”.  20 jaar geleden waren we er al en een tweede bezoek is het zeker waard.  De startafstand (625 km) die we normaal in één dag doen, doen we nu rustiger aan. De eerste middag brengen we door in Mehring, een mooi dorp aan de Moezel.  De camperplaats (met zijn restaurant) ligt pal aan het water.  Gelukkig, ondanks of dank zij de hitte zijn er geen muggen.
Meer moest dat niet zijn. Luieren in een stoel aan het water, even wandelen en dan rustig een glaasje drinken op het terras van het plaatselijke restaurant.

Dag 2
We rijden richting Titisee. We hadden gereserveerd op camping Bühlhof. De bedoeling was om er een aantal dagen ter plaatse te overnachten. De camping is boven een berg gelegen en de weg er naartoe is zeer steil. Een ideale omgeving voor … berggeiten. De 170 pk van de mobilhome was meer dan welkom. De camping is oud maar zeer net, de plaatsen best ruim doch zeker niet vlak. Na de installatie verkennen we de camping en genieten nog na van een mooie avond.
Dag 3
Vandaag wandelen we naar het stadje Titisee aan het gelijknamige meer. Erheen wandelen is, ondanks de hitte, geen probleem. Terugkeren was een ander paar mouwen. Het gedeelte van de grote baan naar de camping was zoals eerder gezegd, een echte kuitenbijter en niet een baantje om meerdere keren per dag te voet af te leggen.
De Titisee is het meest toeristische meer van het Zwarte Woud. Een prachtig natuurlijk meer op een hoogte van zowat 840 meter. In het plaatsje zelf vind je talrijke winkels, restaurants. Het is er heerlijk vertoeven. In de hoofdstraat zijn veel souvenir winkels gelegen, waar je veel producten uit het zwarte woud zoals hammen en kersenmarmelade vindt, en heel veel koekoeksklokken. We konen niet weerstaan aan de streekproducten en kochten zwarte woudham en ‘wald’honing! Geoefende wandelaars kunnen rond het meer wandelen. Het pas is ongeveer 7 km lang. Op het meer kan je leuke boottochten maken. Met een excursieboot, roeibootje, pedalo, of een electrisch bootje. Het is ook een luchtkuuroord. Het is niet het grootste meer, dat is de Schluchsee.

Dag 4
Het is een weertje om luilekker te genieten op de camping. Ondanks de hoge temperaturen besluit ik, Dirk, om in de namiddag een wandeling te maken. Eén die start op de camping. Het pad naar de rand van het bos was al zeer steil. Toen ik boven aan de rand van het bos kwam, was ik blij dat ik even kon verpozen op een bankje. Een prachtig panoramisch zicht en wandelen tussen de koeien. Dat is het zwarte woud ten top.  ’s Nachts zorgt een stevig onweer ervoor dat alles opgefrist wordt.
Dag 5
Freiburg de belangrijkste stad van het Zwarte Woud. Het is nog steeds zeer warm.  Net aan de rand van de stad parkeren we op een grote camperplaats. Na een stevige wandeling (terugkeren doen we wijselijk met de tram) nemen we een kijkje in de talrijke historische straten en wandelen langs stadspoorten, de vele stadhuizen, marktpleinen, door winkelstraten en ... langs de beken! Ja, wel opletten als je in de straten van het centrum kuiert. In vele straten liggen nog kleine open beken (Bächle).
De Münsterkerk neemt prominent haar plaats in. In de Kaiser Joseph Strasse zijn vele grote warenhuizen gelegen.

Terwijl we op een terras genoten van een lekkere maaltijd werden we verrast door zowaar een windhoos. Deze trok over gans Freiburg.
De zware parasols waaiden allen om, kleinere kozen het luchtruim. Servieten, tafellakens, stoelkussens, en zelfs stoelen gingen vliegen. We moesten in allerijl onze borden nemen en in het restaurant vluchten. Na twee minuten was alles voorbij en scheen de zon weer. Nu nog wat winkelen (eindelijk) en dan de tram op. Dit gratis! Dankzij onze KONUS gastenkaart.
SONY DSC
Wanneer op je vakantie bent in het Zwarte Woud krijg je op campings of in je hotel of gastenverblijf een Konus gastenkaart.

De uitdrukking “KONUS” komt van de vroegere universele sleutel die trein conducteurs ooit gebruikten om bussen en treinstellen te openen. Deze uitdrukking staat voor gratis gebruik van openbaar vervoer voor bezoekers aan het gehele Zware Woud. Er zijn enige uitzonderingen.
Na aankomst op je vakantiebestemming kun je je voertuig laten staan en brengt het openbaar vervoer (bus, tram, trein, om het even) je naar elke plaats die je wenst, zonder je zorgen te hoeven maken over een parkeerplaats.

Meer info over deze kaart vind je op: zwartewoud.info

Overnachten doen we voor de laatste maal op camping Bühlhof in Titisee.
SONY DSC
Dag 6
Triberg bezoeken bleek niet mogelijk door een totaal gebrek aan parkeerplaatsen, de massa toeristen en overal achtergelaten fietsen.  De bedoeling was om er een bezoek te brengen, niet alleen aan het “Schwarzwaldmuseum” maar ook aan de grootste winkel met koekoeksklokken. We rijden dan maar door naar Schonach voor een bezoekje aan de tot voor kort, grootste koekoeksklok ter wereld en vervolgens verder naar de Schluchsee.  In Schluchsee vinden we nog net een plaats op de camperplaats. Deze is net aan het gelijknamige stuwmeer gelegen. Het meer is
drie maal groter dan de Titisee maar niet zo toeristisch uitgebaa(ui)t. Dit is onze overnachtingsplaats voor de komende 2 nachten.
Dag 7
Na een bezoek aan en een wandeling rond het leuke stadje gaan we ’s middags varen op het meer met de rondvaartboot. Een boot die drie haltes rond het meer aandoet. Vanaf die haltes kan je mooie wandelingen aan en rond het meer maken. Zoals gewoonlijk is er geen Nederlandstalige info (wel Chinees) aan boord, maar als je goed luistert kan je wel iets meepikken van de Duitstalige rondleiding.  Tenzij je natuurlijk geniet van een stuk taart, een ijsje of iets vloeibaars op de boot…

Dag 8
Onze reis gaat verder naar Waldshut, een klein oud stadje aan de Rijn en tegen de grens met Zwitserland. De mooie (luxe) camperplaats ligt naast de camping (waarvan de douches en toiletten ook voor de campers zijn) en heeft alle faciliteiten.  Via een korte wandeling langs de Rijn kom je in het stadje vol fraaie oude vakwerkhuizen, mooie winkels en terrasjes in de verkeersvrije Kaiserstrasse, die aan beide zijden omsloten wordt door een markante stadspoorttoren. In het midden van de straat stroomt door een stenen goot water. Ook zijn er drie moderne fonteinen.
Op het terras van een patisserie genoten we van dé taart van de streek: zwarte woudtaart; heerlijk!

Dag 9
We wippen even de Zwitserse grens over en bezoeken de Rijnwatervallen in Schaffhausen.  Er is een parking (P4) voorzien voor campers maar zoals gewoonlijk staan er ook vele personenauto’s tussen. Vroeg toekomen is de boodschap!  Je mag overnachten op de parking, maar het is er zeer duur. Waarschijnlijk komt dit door de dure Zwitserse frank!

De “Rheinfall” zijn de grootste watervallen van Europa. Je voelt het gebulder van het water door je hele lichaam. Je kan er met een boot naar de kastelen, in het bekken van de Rijnwaterval en zelfs naar het terras op de rots in het midden.
Je wordt er getrakteerd op een gratis, ijskoude douche door het opspattende water.  Het is een indrukwekkend schouwspel.
Day 10
A panoramic route passed the scenic valleys and hills of the Black Forest. Past towns such as Hochenschwand, Todnau, Bernau, Feldberg, and via Titisee (where we buy a cuckoo clock anyway) we continue to Altglashütten. The camper stop is just outside the village next to the railway (luckily just out of use for repairs - normally two trains a day). The village is known today as a ski resort, but its origin is due to the construction of a glass factory in 1609. Many glass blowers settled there. It has a beautiful church and one of the few remaining glassworkers. The man is just working in his shop. There are beautiful things for sale from little gems (rings, earrings, animals) to glasses, vases, etc. And the prices are very reasonable. The area invites to long walks.
Day 11
The last day of our visit to the Black Forest we drive back home. Not directly. Again we take a stopover on the Moselle. This time we go to Minheim (the solar island), a small but romantic wine village hidden on a bend in the beautiful Moselle landscape. The village has 452 inhabitants and no fewer than 13 wineries.
The camper place (90 places) is located right on the river. Beautiful, quiet, spacious pitches with all amenities (water, electricity and waste point). In the morning the baker brings the bread and biscuits ordered the day before. Between the vineyards and wineries you will find a few restaurants and one shop (from the same bakery, also a mini supermarket with a relatively wide range of cakes, cold meats, vegetables, fruit, newspapers, books and even stamps!). During our visit there was a pleasant atmosphere and bustle. It was a party in the village with orchestras playing in the squares, and drink and wine stands everywhere.
Day 12
After the morning mist cleared that hung in strings over the water, the sun shone wonderfully again. We decided to drive back home anyway.

We were glad that we visited this region again after all these years. Returning to the Black Forest is always fun and pleasant to stay.

Between the vineyards and wineries you will find a few restaurants and one shop (from the same bakery, also a mini supermarket with a relatively wide range of cakes, cold meats, vegetables, fruit, newspapers, books and even stamps!). During our visit there was a pleasant atmosphere and bustle. It was a party in the village with orchestras playing in the squares, and drink and wine stands everywhere.
Day 12
After the morning mist cleared that hung in strings over the water, the sun shone wonderfully again. We decided to drive back home anyway.

We were glad that we visited this region again after all these years. Returning to the Black Forest is always fun and pleasant to stay.

Day 8
Our journey continues to Waldshut, a small old town on the Rhine and near the border with Switzerland. The beautiful (luxury) camper stopover is located next to the campsite (of which the showers and toilets are also for the campers) and has all facilities. A short walk along the Rhine takes you to the town full of beautiful old half-timbered houses, beautiful shops and terraces in the pedestrian Kaiserstrasse, which is enclosed on both sides by a striking city gate tower. In the middle of the street, water flows through a stone gutter. There are also three modern fountains.
On the terrace of a pastry shop we enjoyed the cake of the region: black forest cake; delicious!
Day 9
We skip across the Swiss border and visit the Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen. There is a parking (P4) for campers but as usual there are also many passenger cars in between. The message is to arrive early! You can stay overnight in the parking lot, but it is very expensive. This is probably due to the expensive Swiss franc!

The “Rhine Falls” are the largest waterfalls in Europe. You feel the roar of the water throughout your body. You can take a boat to the castles, in the basin of the Rhine Falls and even to the terrace on the rock in the middle.
You will be treated to a free, ice-cold shower from the splashing water. It is an impressive spectacle.
In the afternoon we return to Waldshut and the camper place for the night. In the town we get a heavy rain shower. Long live the ice cream salons as a hiding place. The portions of ice cream are also German sized, just huge.
Day 10
A panoramic route passed the scenic valleys and hills of the Black Forest. Past towns such as Hochenschwand, Todnau, Bernau, Feldberg, and via Titisee (where we buy a cuckoo clock anyway) we continue to Altglashütten. The camper stop is just outside the village next to the railway (luckily just out of use for repairs - normally two trains a day). The village is known today as a ski resort, but its origin is due to the construction of a glass factory in 1609. Many glass blowers settled there. It has a beautiful church and one of the few remaining glassworkers. The man is just working in his shop. There are beautiful things for sale from little gems (rings, earrings, animals) to glasses, vases, etc. And the prices are very reasonable. The area invites to long walks.
Day 11
The last day of our visit to the Black Forest we drive back home. Not directly. Again we take a stopover on the Moselle. This time we go to Minheim (the solar island), a small but romantic wine village hidden on a bend in the beautiful Moselle landscape. The village has 452 inhabitants and no fewer than 13 wineries.
The camper place (90 places) is located right on the river. Beautiful, quiet, spacious pitches with all amenities (water, electricity and waste point).

’s Namiddags keren we terug naar Waldshut en de camperplaats voor de nacht.  In het stadje krijgen we een stevige regenbui. Lang leve de ijssalons als schuilplaats. Ook de porties ijs zijn van Duits formaat, gewoon reusachtig.

Dag 10
Een panoramaroute liep langs de schilderachtige valleien en heuvels van het Zwarte Woud. Langs plaatsjes zoals Hochenschwand, Todnau, Bernau, Feldberg,  en via Titisee (waar we toch maar een koekoeksklok kopen) rijden we verder naar Altglashütten.  De camperplaats ligt net buiten het dorp naast de spoorweg (gelukkig net buiten gebruik wegens herstellingswerken – normaal twee treinen per dag).  Het dorp is de dag van vandaag bekend als skioord, doch heeft zijn ontstaan te danken aan de bouw van een glasfabriek in 1609. Vele glasblazers vestigden zich er. Het heeft een mooie kerk en één van de weinige resterende glasblazerijen. De man zit gewoon in zijn winkel te werken.  Er zijn prachtige dingen te koop van kleine juweeltjes (ringen, oorbellen, diertjes) tot glazen, vazen enz.  En de prijzen zijn zeer schappelijk. De omgeving nodigt uit tot het maken van lange wandelingen.
Dag 11
De laatste dag van ons bezoek aan het Zwarte Woud  rijden we terug huiswaarts. Niet rechtstreeks. Opnieuw nemen we een tussenstop aan de Moezel. Dit keer trekken we naar
Minheim (het zonne-eiland), een klein maar romantische wijndorpje verscholen aan een bocht in het schitterende Moezel landschap. Het dorp telt 452 inwoners en maar liefst 13 wijnhuizen.
De camperplaats (90 plaatsen), ligt vlak aan de rivier. Mooi, rustig, ruime plaatsen met alle voorzieningen (water, elektriciteit en loospunt). ’s Morgens brengt de bakker het daags voordien bestelde brood en koeken.  Tussen de wijngaarden en wijnhuizen tref je er enkele restaurants en één winkel (van diezelfde bakker, tevens een minisupermarkt met een relatief ruim assortiment aan taart, charcuterie, groenten, fruit, kranten, boekjes en zelfs postzegels!). Tijdens ons bezoek heerste er een gezellige sfeer en drukte. Het was feest in het dorp met orkestjes die speelden op de pleinen, en drank- en wijnstandjes alom.
Dag 12
Na het optrekken van de ochtendmist die in slierten over het water hing, scheen het zonnetje opnieuw heerlijk. We besloten om toch terug naar huis te rijden.

We waren blij dat we deze streek na al de jaren, toch nog eens bezocht hebben. Terugkeren naar het Zwarte Woud is altijd leuk en aangenaam om te verblijven.
