Back to Pfaffenberg, Germany

We have returned "home" to Berggasthof Schlussel in Pfaffenberg, Germany.

This was our original starting point. We will spend our last week sightseeing

around the Black Forest.

One of our stops was at the Police Station where Hansjorg once worked training police dogs.

The officers gave us a demonstration with one of their dogs.

Here we all are with Silke's mom. One of the best parts of the day when

we sit down with a glass of wine and have dinner with some special people.

The main meal is shnitzel, of course! Still waiting for my Black Forest Cake.

We went to Deutsches Uhrenmuseum--the clock museum.

Cuckoo clocks and musical clockworks have made the clockmakers of the Black Forest world famous. The originals of these branded articles can be found in the collection of the Deutsche Uhrenmuseum
(German clock museum) in Furtwangen – and have been for more than 150 years. The Deutsche Uhrenmuseum owns one of the world's greatest collections of Black Forest clocks, it offers a trip through the entire history of chronometry.

Which one shall we get?

The scenic highlight of Titisee - Neustadt is doubtless the fantastic setting of Titisee lake whose crystal-clear water attracts thousands of enthusiastic swimmers to the healthy climate of the resort town bearing the same name. Since its conversion to a pedestrian zone and waterfront promenade, Seestraße is considered the loveliest street for strolling in the Southern Black Forest.

It is here we stopped for a snack and did some souvenir shopping. Yes, we did get a cuckoo clock!

Yum, apple stuffed "cake".

Delicious dinner made by Silke and Elsa.

We do so appreciate a home-cooked German meal.

Sausage salad, potatoes and wine.
