The Black Forrest

 Taking a hired car from Koblenz, we drove a little of the gorge to Boppard before turning west to find the motorway south to Baden-Baden and the Black Forest.

 And what a little beauty we were given.  Brand new Ford Fiesta  with all mode cons and Sat Nav as standard.  Powerful little motor too.  The motorway, A61, is just the same two lane highway I first drove thirty years ago, except this day it was stuffed with lorries.  Good job we opted to do the rest of the gorge on the return trip.

 We had one full day in the area.  First, a visit to Mummelsee for a walk in the woods.

 Taking in the view.

 before a second walk in the woods,

to look back from whence we had come.

T'was a very warm day.
