The Black Forest

For a long time, we have been wanting to do a driving tour through the Black Forest. Matt has a book that routes out a bunch of different driving tours throughout Germany. Since the Black Forest was most interesting to us we headed out one weekend for a 2 1/2 day driving trip.

The Porsche, of course, was our mode of transportation. We had a ton of fun winding around throughout the forested highways. The scenery was incredible. Absolutely beautiful. We took time to do some hiking as well, we walked up to pretty cool waterfall and enjoyed exploring the area. On our second day we went out for a long run. We ran along small roads and trails and the view could not be beat. There were forests and fields all around us and in the distance you could see the river that marks the Swiss border and further in the distance were the beautiful snow-capped Swiss Alps. That run was definitely on my top ten list!


Here we are on the side of the road with one of the views we were able to enjoy.

The view during our run, can you see the far off mountains? (It's weird that the picture came out so hazy, it was pretty clear that day...oh well)
