1st June

Went for a drive to a few towns around the Black Forest and started by going to a super town called Staufen where they produce various flavours of schnapps and of course had to sample some of the best gateaux of the region. The townsfolk were preparing for a wine and musical festival in the streets for the week-end.

The schnapps distillery

Next stop was St Blazien to visit one of the largest domed churches in Germany. Quite magnificent inside and very unusually all white.

Went back to Staufen for dinner and to watch some of the festivities.
