After Munich, we drove directly to the Black Forest, to a small town called Enzklösterle which is where A found a campsite. I was a little hesitate as we were headed towards nature and away from a big city, but it was a nice little break. Although the town was tiny, it did have a few restaurants, and cafes (with really good black forest cake!!) plus the campsite was very nice. I tried to plan out our entire route before we left for vacation and was going to book campsites in advance, but I'm glad I didn't because we ended up changing our plan a few times and the campsites were never fully booked.
^^Above is on our first walk through the forest. It was a beautiful sunny day and the perfect walking temperature.
^^More of the forest.
We didn't stay in Enzklösterle for long as we had to head down to Switzerland. After Enzklösterle, we drove South towards Freiburg and stayed in Kirchzarten just a short train ride away. One great advantage to staying in the Black Forest area is the free transportation you can use, from buses to trains. The campsite in Kirchzarten gave us a temporary card valid for the duration of our stay which allowed us to hop onto the train to Freiburg for free.
^^We stopped by Cafe Schmidt in Freiburg center to have some cake!
^^After the cake, we walked around and all of a sudden the smell of fried onions and sausages caught our attention. We couldn't resist and each had a sausage with fried onions, ketchup and mustard on a soft bun. It was so delicious.
^^The next morning, we had drive back to Switzerland to A's parent's chalet. We had a day or two to get ready for a week of beach and sun in France next.
^^I was excited to get do some grilling since we don't have an outdoor space in Modena. Sliders, hot dogs and zucchini.
^^Another grilled meal of steak, corn on the cob, potato salad with olive oil and parsley and a few cherry tomatoes.
^^And lastly, I had a small obsession with s'mores this vacation. Though I couldn't find the perfect graham cracker, I made it up by using fleur de sel dark chocolate.
Last recap of vacation coming up: Montpellier then on to a few recipes!
