Allerheiligen Again




Last Sunday Kim and I hit the road and south we flew to the Allerheiligen waterfall in the Black Forest. It was a cold, windy day and we were instantly chilled when we climbed out of the car. We hiked a ways up, marvelling at the ice covered grasses and trees, and enjoying the water falling. Half way up we had to stop, as the cement stairs were covered in too much ice. So, we drove to the top of the mountain and hiked back to that same point. Afterwards we drove on down the highway to discover the Mummelsee. Within 2 minutes we were climbing the highway upwards into the slopes of the Black forest. There was snow everywhere but the road, which is my kind of perfect winter circumstance, and the views were beautiful.





After so much time in the car and being thoroughly chilled to the bone, we had to go for a walk and see for ourselves the famed Mummelsee. It turned out to be merely a large pond, but we walked a bit down the path, and here is the result of our slippy- slidy adventure in the powdery German snow.


Allerheiligen Wasserfall and the Black Forest is always a perfect daytrip.
