Road tripping in Germany - 7 Black forest

 Bühlertal

Our final destination on this road trip before we returned to Berlin was the cherry on the cake, rather the cake itself! Yes, the famous Black Forest. I had always wanted to relish the Black Forest cake in Black 


Forest which I did every day that we were there. So off we headed to Bühlertal. It was at a distance of 


around 400kms from Penzberg and we could cover the distance in just about 4 hours due to the super roads/autobahns.

Bühlertal is a village in the Black Forest region of Germany. Specifically, it is located in the state of Baden-Württemberg. A very pretty village with a few stud farms and the AirBnb we stayed in was right opposite one so we could admire the wonderful horses up close.



The Black Forest (Schwarzwald in German) is a mountainous region known for its dense forests, charming villages, and scenic landscapes. It is one of Germany's most well-known and iconic regions, attracting tourists with its picturesque landscapes, charming villages, and cultural attractions. So, the first place we headed to was to Sommerberg where they have a tree top walk leading to a spiral viewing gallery. 

The tree top walk is very educative. There are information boards all along of the flora and fauna present there. The Treetop Walk at the Sommerberg in Bad Wildbad is easily accessible in the Northern Black Forest.





The spiral viewing gallery is amazing, you can see the black forest from various levels as you go right to the top from where you get a bird’s eye view of the black forest.

Next day we visited Triberg. Triberg is a town located in the Black Forest region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is known for several attractions that make it a popular destination for tourists:

Triberg Waterfalls: These waterfalls are one of the main attractions in the area. The Gutach River

cascades over seven waterfalls within a short distance, making it one of the highest waterfalls in Germany.


Triberg Clock Museum (Uhrenmuseum): The town is also famous for its cuckoo clocks, and the clock museum showcases a collection of historical and contemporary timepieces.



Spent a beautiful day in Triberg.

Next on our list was the "Wildgehege" trail in Baden Baden that leads around a wildlife enclosure 



where you will encounter all sorts of wild and wonderful creatures.

They have marked trails that you follow. We saw antlered red deer, a mountain goat and the trail overall was wonderful.

Now it was time to head back to Berlin after a memorable road trip of South Germany. The trip back was uneventful and full of discussions on the wonderful experiences of the past few weeks.
