Black Forest

Last weekend I was in the Black Forest, im Schwarzwald, to celebrate my friend Gregor's 40th birthday.

We were a group of about 20-30 people and stayed for two nights in a Selbstversorger-Wanderhütte (I have no idea how to translate this) in the picturesque village Neuenweg in Naturpark Südschwarzwald. (South Black Forest Nature Park).


On Saturday, after a hearty breakfast, we put on our hiking boots, unsere Wanderschuhe, and made our way though meadows and forests, durch Wiesen und Wälder, to a beautiful pond, Nonnenmattweiher. 

The weather was ideal for hiking, mostly cloudy and not too warm.
