We have recently had school holidays, and I was lucky enough to go to Baden-Württemberg (the state to the left of Bavaria) with my host family and Balto (the dog) It was a long 6-hour caravan trip, and I found it so weird that dogs are pretty much allowed anywhere. All the time we would see them in restaurants, national parks, and caravan parks. The first couple of days of the holidays we were at home preparing for the trip. And with an early start at 9 on Monday morning, we were at Europa Park (a theme park) around 3 to 4 pm. We were planning to spend the day there Tuesday and Wednesday, but there were too many people and the traffic was horrendous. Instead, we went to the black forest, which was about a 2-hour drive from Europa park. It was a very old town, with heaps of historical buildings. There we also walked up alongside Germany’s highest waterfall, located directly on the Black Forest railway line. The waterfall has an overall drop of around 163 meters over 7 cascades.
On the way up we were welcomed by squirrels. Because we don’t have them in Australia, I had never seen one before, so I’d always imagined them to be the size of a possum, but in reality, they are much smaller. We then had a quick look around the city and went through a few souvenir shops.

In the morning, after having stayed the night at a new caravan park, we had a good look around. We saw the true beauty of a German forest. It was so magical it almost felt like I was in a fairy-tale. After having the traditional Schnitzel and Spezi (cola & Fanta mix) for lunch in a restaurant in the middle of a forest, we climbed up a small tower and looked out a whole 360 degrees from the top. There were beautiful mountain scapes in every direction, some snow-capped. It is heading into winter and the days are beginning to get shorter, it's started getting dark at 4:30 pm. We had to head off pretty quickly to beat the fading light. The sun was just beginning to set as we arrived at a mountain lake called Schluchsee. The water was so clear and shimmering in the last light of the day, that it left me in awe because I hadn’t seen anything so beautiful before
I would like to thank my host family for taking me on this amazing trip. I can’t wait for what's to come.
