our Hotel in Furstenberg Allthough we put into the GPR no freeways, it did send us all over autoways and we were in and out of Swiss in not time at all. It is a pleasure to drive over the German country roads. We arrived in our very small township of Furstenberg early afternoon.

Furstenberg to another place called, Triberg. That has the highest waterfall in Germany. It is a fall of 136 metres. A very steep climb but we were rewarded with amazing views and the waterfall as well. Lots to see around here.It is at the edge of Schwarzwald and a beautiful area. It has lots to offer and at some places you here that many different languages you think you are in the United Nations. Well we be here for a few days so more nice things to come.
