Starting from the Hinterzarten train station,
we set off walking the forest paths, taking in the fall colors.
Above, a ditch with clever erosion control.
After crossing the tourist town of Hofgut Sternen with busloads of tourists exploring the glassblower and ropemaker exhibits, and historic tollhouse, we reach the small St. Oswaldkappelle.
The chapel, dedicated to St Oswald, a 7th century king and martyr, was built in 1148, and is the oldest church in the High Black Forest. Above, skull and bone visible from the subfloor.
Crossing the Ravenna viaduct,
climbing high through the romantic Ravenna Gorge,
and emerging on an upland moor.
To the left, note the traditional farm house with solar panels and wood pile.
See detail below.
Back by train to our Freiburg Airbnb.
Above, photo of our bohemian and pictoresque street.
Bye bye Freiburg.
Seen at the train station the next morning for our ride back to Brussels,
a tower of all Ritter chocolates, one of my favorite chocolates.
