Schwazwald- Black Forest

Furtwangen,Germany



Few days back we went to Schwarzwald (English: Black Forest) in Germany.. It is a beautiful forest area with quaint, pretty and very cute villages in the area.. We lived in Triberg..which is famous for its cuckoo clocks...I have never seen more prettier and cutest clocks like the ones in Triberg...They had  big and beautifully wooden carved human sized teddy bears ..musicians..dolls..dancers .. birds dancing on it... Can you believe if I tell you the biggest cuckoo clock is a house!!!!(will share the pics later in another post)...


Titisee,Germany

The above was taken on Titisee(Lake Titisee) when we went for a boat ride..The water was cool ..but still we saw locals swimming in it..making most of the weather.. In winter the entire lake freezes some 30 cm and is open for ice skating ....
