The black forest
Since Lotte is German, she seems to know lots of German people, one of them owned a cottage in the black forest, in a tiny little village called Rheintal Rheintal, nestled at the end of a very pretty valley, consisted of about 6 houses. The house we were staying in was originally built in the 1600s as the bake house for a monastery which has long since gone, but luckily the house remains.
From Rheintal, we set about exploring the surrounding countryside. We went and explored Freiburg, had a look around at Schloss Burgeln, a palace situated on a mountain nearby and explored it's grounds for a bit.
We went to the tops of a few mountains in the area and ate lots of wild blue berries on the way down from one of them.
We also went to France for a couple of day trips and checked out Colmar and Strasbourg, both of which were very pretty.
