As you stroll through the studio scene a little channels called faces you know they can be found along many of private streets during the winter months theyre empty but in summer theyre full of water. Those have been around since the middle ages and they stretch out over more than fifteen kilometers back in the day they were used to assure water supply but nowadays theyve become more of a tourist attraction and a pretty dangerous one legend has it that whoever is steps in to them will have to marry a freiburg or so be careful. Frederick is germanys southernmost city and the perfect starting point for a trip to the black forest. During the winter months the regions biggest drop is of course the snow im a huge Winter Sports fan and im going to do my very best to try everything the black forest has to offer the two classics skiing and sledding are on the very top of my list. And there is one thing im particularly looking forward to theres only so much ill give away its not going to be me who exercises im going to let a couple of Furry Friends do the work for me.

From freiburg it takes you about half an hour to get to the black forest by car on the way you pass by some fascinating science says you head for the socalled valley of hell. But in reality its not hellish at all quite the opposite the valley shows nature at its best. This gorge for example is so narrow that if the legend is to be believed a deer once jumped from one side to the other. My journey and leads me to the frozen lake one of the many must sees in the black forest. Every year thousands of tourists full pir to like t. T. C.

The wrong bank of the House Company and shawna has been making them for more than a hundred g. Is. Under four hundred instanter with this design of the wall its called a shield claw its hand painted and its the original cuckoo clock trying to divide of the value on our company has developed variations on market share now we also make contemporary coco pops. Went and they all strike the our. Other original tradition is a ladies hat called the bone heart actually its only more than three neighboring villages but its become a symbol of the whole black forest. Were these hats the inspiration for black forest gateau theres no proof but they could be because the chocolate shavings somehow look a bit like the dark woods and here it is a black fire scatter a sponge cake basically pure shit cured of whipped cream cherries and chocolate shavings. The black forest isnt just a place to go sightseeing or enjoy a meal its great for Winter Sports. But nearly one thousand five hundred meter has its highest mountain in the felde but is almost guaranteed to have snow and its home to the regions biggest ski resorts. In. The black forest biggest skiing ariad no way im missing that but first i need to fetch them gear no problem because theres a rental spot at the foot of the slopes. The there are thirty eight lifts around the field back and some sixty three kilometers of peace a day pass costs thirty five your house. Im going to start with a blue slope one of the easier ones i havent read in a while the food. Great weather perfect snow and a view all the way to the alps i couldnt ask for more. Time to try something a little more challenging for. The. Folks. That was amazing. And considering its my first feature of the year i dont think that is too bad but as he is way too old school for you and you like to try out more innovative ways of moving around the globe ive got a great tip for you why dont you try snowkiting. Snowkiting on the failed back it involves a car turning your way over the ice or snow on a snowboard or skis you can even take to the air. But of course you have to learn to land and break as well fell back off is plenty of courses for beginners. Those as theyre the first thing i have to know when setting up my kite is where is the wind coming from what do you think where is it coming from what is on by and then both your ears have to feel cold equally its a bit hard with a helmet but still an out where your nose is pointing thats where the wind is coming from i have come to what i know i can only tell friends who. Practice without a snowboard and with the many current thats not so easy right now the wind is gusting getting stronger but already the first participant is having a go with a large car. With winds of four seven and above things start to get uncomfortable but weather often changes fast on the felt back in the groove thats for a start its going. To take that event. The next day the skies are clear perfect conditions for snowkiting. In all the nothing too bad the only tree far but it is in the way sometimes snow can see involves climbing. Some of its not the first time ive had to climb a tree. Have it but now you will know why we dont snow cockney obstacles. After a bad person suddenly everything goes beautifully but. Yeah. Everyones really enjoyed it and they get plenty of praise for their efforts. On flights make stuff. So if you want a new experience no country is just the thing and theres no doubt youll get back there drilling rush. Hour break here in the black forest thats no problem there are lots of chalets restaurants and rustic for instance in the right man to hold a guest house run by the andrus family. And all home to you know any cotton flatmate that. Its located in beautiful surroundings in the defense back. In crosscountry skiers often stop here its one of the oldest inns in the black forest. With our new how long have you been running the guest house in my generation since one thousand nine hundred five. And before that. Another five generations. Eight hundred twenty five.

English they come from the council out there from a farm just fifty meters away. From the first answer so here raise your own food here. Pan out has to go back to work but before i leave i need to try some of his food the best way to try as much as i can seems to be a platter with regional delicacies trying local fare is definitely one of my favorite parts about travelling and our.

What oh and yes were very proud of this building it was declared a unesco World Heritage site in one nine hundred ninety six on december the seventh birthday if that wasnt there but i mean i suspect this is the most impressive room hes on with its elegant columnist in a theater they say that they say your. Silk another products were traded here from the fifteenth century all months for naught it will be imported. Youve. Got. This thing. Another thats actually my i also like to hear because it is around the old central and South African i think this district with its narrow streets is called elk out of manhattan and used to be pretty run down and then some twenty years ago restoration began and now a lot of young people live here.

For you have i been waiting for this moment i know i know been as russia because i saw him come over and. I get to go dog sledding with these adorable huskies majar luna and the rest thats a ban from lenz kay says it is important that his visitors learn how to handle the dogs. Yeah well do they have to be before they can be harnessed to a sled skipped i need to huskies a husky just size that for him so that officially they can take part in basis after that eighteen months old. Dozens of them he said while racing harnesses and there are different sizes. And the most money you have to put them on. The strongest dogs pull the slates and the ones that listen well the leaders you know ok on the harnesses are always the same for the front and the back. You know its the only different size not marxist at the business i hear but starcom are going to be sympathetic and ill never have. The or take it. On. When i have harnessed the dog. The dogs can hardly wait. Before we get to the sled we give them a drink now in winter the huskies are really busy but whats it like in summer. Almost under the basically they rest inside they dont do anything anymore thats what we give them less to eat its like when baz hibernate. You can watch them as usual but in temperatures above twenty degrees celsius when you dont do much with siberian huskies gone its male that ok so lets get going. And where has assistance attach the dogs to help lines. To get used to it i go for a spin with sasha staring. Its hot but i look at trying to love myself he has a few tips. He doesnt need me but the what happens when i lean into a curve to the dogs go along with mean by they dont know in front what im doing behind them. They dust me and they dont let you talk to them but then what are the commands how can i get them to do what i want. Young ones weve trained them in german and in english too i would just say but its also i guess weve found that works best the know if you want to go if you say links in with a smooth if you want to go right you see the movie if you want to slow down you say snow to stop you say stop and go is go go go ya boy. Were off again. Easy but the dogs arent listening to sasha you theyre. Pretty. Good they can ignite the food. First even if i didnt mean to. Though is truly a once in a lifetime experience but much like skiing its an experience that can only be had if theres enough snow during the month of january and february snow is pretty much assured here in the black forest but still being at the mercy of the elements always makes for a bit of an unpredictable vacation but dont you worry even if there is no snow at all you wont be getting bored here in the black forest. With. The ski lifts may not be running but the dont sleds could run on wheels in the summer to poke around and talk now is going at full tilt. If theres no snow in the black forest it doesnt mean your vacation is over. This summer toboggan run takes you almost three kilometers downhill. Oh you can go a carriage ride. Complete with mulled wine or a hot toddy. If you plan to go crosscountry skiing get out your poles anyway and go hiking instead. And if you just cant do without ice at least theres some at the skating rink not only can you skate here you can also try your hand at curling. Or you can just relax and enjoy the gorgeous scenery with or without snow. Thankfully i have snow to spare so i can give sledding a shot no haskins this time. Ok so that. There are countless to bottom runs in the back for i am the one in lens kit the track is over a kilometer long and its nothing for the faint hearted. Usually theres a bus that will take you back up the mountain but it doesnt run very often and just missed it so i have to walk on.
