We had only planned on staying here for a few hours in this part of the Black Forest but with seeming ceaseless “Oooh”ing and “Aaah”ing at the views, we soon realised that we’d pretty much spent our entire day just surrounding ourselves in nature. It’s funny how time creeps up on you when you’re having fun! It’s really fun to walk through and is one of the best ways to take in the beauty that is Germany’s, Black Forest. To get there you have to go through this incredible treetop walk (it’s like a ‘bridge path) which traverses through the forest. Better yet – you can actually walk to the very top of it so, within minutes of arriving in the Black Forest, we headed straight for the tower.

It is essentially this huge incredible tower smack bang in the middle of the Black Forest and it’s nothing short of impressive. Now, there’s one part of the Black Forest I’d always been intrigued – The Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald Tower. We actually flew into Stuttgart but after this trip to Stuttgart (in this post here) – we decided to give Stuttgart a miss on this trip and go straight to the Black Forest. Our destination this time would be the Black Forest.

As such an opportunity to get to travel (to places we were officially allowed to travel to by) was one we did not take lightly at all. See a mere 48 hours before, we weren’t even sure we’d be able to make it to Germany and after weeks of being stuck at home, unable to travel. Our first day in Germany was one filled with lots of excitement!
