Dawn
We drove to the Black Forest to day and went to the Treetop Walk, and the Open Ait Museum that is buildings from the 1700s with different periods from the 1700s onwards.
Tunnels over a kilometer in length along the way
Enrance and walk to the Treetop Walk.
I started my exercise tracker when we started walking up to the Treetop Walk
It snowed on us all the time we were at the site.
On to Gutach in the snow to see the Open Air Museum
Black Redstart on the roof of the museum ticket office, gift shop and restaurant.
Had to take a Black Forest Cake break while in the Black Forest

Thanks for the fun tour Tim. I was surprised by the snow and colorful bulls.
the bulls are in Pirmasens, which is well known for its shoe industry. It was one the way back from the Black Forest
Winter is hanging on out here. Thanks, Brad.
I loved this tour! Thank you! And the cake and the cat… perfect!
You are welcome, Lori. Thanks for going on the tour.
All of those sights—and cake, too!!
Absolutely. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Amazing. What lovely places and not busy either.
Snow and rain seem to dampen the mood of many foor the outdoors, but still there were a lot of families out with bundled-up children and weather-proofed perambulators. Thanks, Shey.
Oh aye, the weather has not been the best here either. Lovely sun but horrible cold. Yesterday at he oldest grandie’s footie, this gale force wind got up out of nowhere on the open space. We were nearly blown off our feet several times. I kid you not. Even my six foo plus son in law was. Even us Scots are unusually wrapped to the gunnels in big quilted coats still. But yeah, the day before despite that when we saw a space outside one of our many local pubs in passing having been for a walk along the beach, we grabbed it. Bring some warm stuff for your tip and I will be in touch nearer to the weekend. (I just didn’t want to get in the way when you are doing stuff just now.)
I do have some warm clothes. If they are warm enough, I will find out. They have been sufficient for the cold weather in Germany. We get cold temps in NM, but we have a dry cold, which is much easier to deal with than when it’s cold and wet.
Sure they will be warm enough for here. It has just not been a great winter and it has been that sharp cold so far in spring.
You are getting to see so many wonderful things I will never get to see, and I appreciate you sharing them here. It is nice to know these things exist. I loved that treetop walk! Atlas is a fine ending to a beautiful and educational set of photos.
The rain dampened our sense of adventure at the open-air museum. So we didn’t get to the oldest house from 1407. It takes about 3 hours to walk to everything on the site. The main house in the third photo was from 1599. One house had been continuously lived in from the 1600s to 1980 when the museum bought it from the owner who could no longer keep it and moved it to the site.
There are five treetop walks in Germany, the most of any other country in the world. There is one in Canada, the only one in the New World. Thanks, Lavinia.
You are most welcome, Tim. Keep enjoying those wonderful sights overseas for me!
I’m driving to Belgium on Wednesday to visit Herman and Niki. On Friday, I’m flying to Athens to visit Marina and Socratis. After that I’m flying to Scotland to visit Shey and her family. I’m going Beach Boys with my blogging!
You get around, Tim, that is for sure!
Fabulous photos and we have a similar treetop walk about 1.5 hours away from Montreal, towards the north. It’s called the Sentier des Cimes – and means the very same thing! https://treetop-walks.com/laurentides/en-ca/
We saw that. It’s the only one in the New World. Have you been there? There are 5 treetop walks in Germany. Tristan has now been to two of them. Thanks, Dale.
Didja? Yes, I have. Twice. They have since added lights so they are now open at night. Must go back! Good for Tristan!
Oh! Ja! Die Nacht wäre wunderbar.
Ich werde auf jeden Fall hingehen, sobald ich die Gelegenheit dazu habe.
Sounds like you need to make an opportunity.
I will. I gotta go through my emails. I was certain I got an invitation (as we get, in the tourism business)…
searches through emails…
Oh yeah… it was back in December and I missed it because I had something else.
Guess I’ll have to create another 🙂
Ja!
The weather is cold but the cake looks great. How wonderful to see the Black Forest
We had a great time. Thanks, Robbie.
👍🏻💜
The cake, the bird, the cat…and the walk…wonderful day.
It was. Thanks, Gigi.
Looks as if you are having the most wonderful time. So happy for you.
Ja!
❤️
Hiking the Black Forest is
a piece of cake, apparently 😎
A bit slippery, but yes! Thanks, David.
Love the weathercock photo!
They are common in these parts. Thanks, Geoff.
Wait, is that a spiral slide at the top of the treetop walk?
It sure is. It was closed for winter. You wouldn’t want your tongue to stick to the cold metal on the way down. Thanks, Brian.
You know you have to go back when it is warmer and try it!!
For sure. I would have done it if it was open when we were there.
Winter sure is hanging on. It looks like a great walk Tim .. And that cake, delicious! Give Atlas a pat from me please
Thanks, Julie. The cake was great. Atlas sends purrs.
