Feldberg is good for hiking & skiing

by globetrott

Feldberg is good place for hiking & skiingFeldberg is the highest mountain of that area of Black Forest / Schwarzwald with an excellent panorama-view on a clear day. Unfortunately I was there last time only in early spring, when the weather was bad and most of the snow was gone already, but the large cable-car was still working, taking up the skiers to the higher levels with a lot of snow.Feldberg is also a great place to go hiking in summer-time.You can get there by bus or with your own car and you will as well find plenty of hotels on the hill as well.Feldberg is about 20km from Freiburg im Breisgau !

Klein Venedig & Kornhashaus in Freiburg

by globetrott

Klein Venedig / Little Venice in Freiburgis the name ofthe area between Martinstor and Schwabentor, it was the area, where fishermen and tanners were working and living, the street-names Gerberau and Fischerau are still indicating that.Close to the busy towncentre of Freiburg Klein Venedig is a quiet and charming place with a small river and the carftrafic is mostly far away. There are many great houses like the Haus zum Grauen Wolf dating back to the year 1460.Adolf Kornhas - Haus is the name of this lovely medieval building with a great facade and rich ornaments. Lithographie, Stein- und Buchdruck ,(Lithography and printing of books) was the business of Adolf Kornhas and so it made sense for him to give some fine excamples of his art & profession at the facde of his house in Herrengasse # 34.This profession is totally outdated nowadays and in that building is just an ordinary shop now,...

Himmelreich is close to Hoellental

by globetrott

Himmelreich - a hell of a village !Himmelreich is one of the german expressions for heaven and it is also the name of a tiny village east of Freiburg. It is quite interesting that this village of Himmelreich is in Hoellental (hell-valley): This is the name of the narrow and rough valley that all of the transports had to go through, when they wanted to get from Titisee to Freiburg. At the end of that valley like hell that small village might have been seen as heaven / Himmelreich , maybe because all of the troubles were over in that flat landscape there.Even nowadays, when you have taken the steep road through the Höllental with plenty of heavy trucks in the needle-pin-bends you might be happy to be back on ordinary roads again.The village itself has NO places of interest for the ordinary tourist, except maybe the funny and un-usual name of the village at the train-station.It is really...

Kloster Maulbronn

by tini58de

This former Cistercian abbey which is almost 850 years old, is considered to be the best preserved and thus most impressive medival abbey north of the Alps. Twelve monks from Alsace began building the abbey in 1147 and for 390 years the monks at Maulbronn lived, built, prayed and worked there. After the Reformation - and the dissolution of the monastery - Maulbronn became the seat of the Dukes of Württemberg. Duke Christopher of Württemberg arranged for a Protestant monastery school to be established in 1556, which was converted into a Protestant theological seminary in 1807 and still exists today.It is a UNESCO world heritage site and a truly impressive place!

Pforzheim

by DanielF

Do not come to Pforzheim looking for old buildings or historical monuments. Almost everything here is gone forever. Do come here expecting a pleasant river promenade from where to enjoy the golden light of the sunset.

Wutachschlucht

by tini58de

The "Wutachschlucht" is situated in the South of the Black Forest and is one of the last original wild stream regions in the middle of Europe.It is 200 m deep and 30 km long and is considered to be the youngest "Canyon" in the world. The fauna in the "Wutachschlucht" is estimated to have about 10.000(!) different species. The riches of the flora is likewise overwhelming.This is due the coming together of different climatic zones. During the season guided walks free of charge are offered through the "Wutachschlucht"..

Altrhein

by tini58de

In the Karlsruhe area you can visit the Rhine river - and you will see a huge stream with big ships and enormous bridges crossing the river..But once you stroll around a little off the beaten path, you will find small lakes and little rivers - the Altrhein (old Rhine). The old Rhine used to meander quite a bit and some 100 years ago, architects straightened it out.So the meander parts of the old Rhine river wer cut off and are now leading a seperate life.... It is VERY romantic and peaceful to go walking, go on bike tours or even go fishing there!

Ettlingen

by tini58de

Ettlingen is just south of Karlsruhe, easily reached by car or tram. It is a beautiful medieval town with a nice palace, half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets.For more information, please have a look at my Ettlingen page!

Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen

by tini58de

Eggenstein is just north of Karlsruhe. It is a small town - nothing exciting, just very typical: a main street, a church, some shops, some small restaurants and some nice houses along the main street. What makes it special to me, is the fact, that we live here! For more information please have a look at my Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen page!

Östringen

by Madschick

I only happened to get to know about this place, because my wife tini58de had a concert there with her choir, which I wanted to see and hear.So I took the opportunity and the camera and looked around this nice little town. Again, nothing spectacular, but very typical!Östringen is in the north-east of Baden-Württemberg, between Bruchsal and Heidelberg.
