Leaving Strasbourg we had about an hours drive to reach what really is a lovely spot about 1,000 metres up in the hills that carry the Black Forest. I’m going to say that normally I really don’t like places that have been heavily commercialised for tourists, but for some reason I didn’t feel the same with this spot, Mummelsee, which most definitely has been (heavily commercialised).
Perhaps the reason was the chance to have a piece of Black Forest Gateaux, whilst in the Black Forest. Come on, it would have been churlish not to. So once again, I let myself be that tourist and I have to say it tasted really nice. I also went for a stroll around at least part of the lake, so I a genuinely say that I went for a walk in the Black Forest.
As we descended from those mountainous heights we had a brief walking experience in one of the small towns that cling to the hill side. It was a lovely experience.
In the afternoon, we went to Strasbourg City Centre. We had a level walk around and visited the lovely cathedral with the unusual organ with the pipes halfway up the wall, which really must be difficult for maintenance. Still, interesting.
