Trip to Europe--Black Forest

No matter how I hate to leave Heidelberg, we had to hit the road the early next morning. Before we left, a small accident occurred. We couldn’t open the car’s trunk no matter how hard we’d tried. Germans are normally warm hearted. We stopped one who was driving the same car at the parking for help. He tried several sever ways, cheap snapbacks, but none of them had worked. Before he left, he gave us a name card of the repair shop he usually visited. On the way, something even more disturbing came up. There was warning sign “Moto diagnose” appeared on the dash board. None of us knew what that meant. We tried to contact Herz Car Rental but no body answered the phone. We called Benz 4S Shop, but the person who answered the phone neither speak English, nor understand any technics.  Okay, it’s just the second day of our trip, and we already had met with a problem unsolved. Disturbing as it was, we decided to leave it alone for a time. After all the car could still run, and with some troubles, we could manage to move our luggage inside the trunk any way. So it’s not a big deal, isn’t it?

Soon we had arrived Black Forest. The most beautiful scenes were along the way. Wooden Cabins with classic European styles, cheap replica oakleys, the ones we’ve often read in Fairy stories, scattered on the slope of hills surrounded with untouched forests, creating magic spells over us and lightening our worries about the car. Any picture we took randomly on the car is beautiful enough to be taken as a post card. There are parking lots along this road. Tourists could stop as they want to take some fresh air and fully enjoy the beautiful scenes. It’s a pity that we just stopped twice. It’s certainly not enough.
Mummelsee is a peaceful, quiet lake at the mountainside in Black Forest. We stopped here for lunch. Here, I almost became the first one who’s freezing to death under the summer sunlight. It was so….cold. I had to put on all my clothes I could grasp.

 Besides forest, wooden cabins, waterfall and late, wholesale nfl jerseys, Black Forest have another thing well-known:  Clocks.  It’s a traditional handicraft of local people. House of 1000 Clocks already has more than 100 years history.
It’s not simply a house, but also an art. Don’t you think so?
