Of the various touring
routes the Black Forest-panorama-route is a tip worth
taking. This stretch of country from Waldkirch to
Hinterzarten, with the ascent to Kandel and St. Peter,
St. Märgen, Thurner, Hinterzarten, is without
 |
exageration
the most beautiful in the whole of the Black
Forest. Nowhere else do you find such
wide-sweeping views. |
| You cannot claim to know the
Black forest if you have not travelled this route
- and yet it is relatively little known. |
|
| "Hardly
any other road can offer such a magnificent
panorama over the heights to the Black Forest,
into the Rhine valley and beyond to the Vosges
and the Alps. |
|
 |
There are
any number of spots for you to make a break
either briefly or for a longer stay - restful or
active, as you wish, in attractive country inns
or in choice hotels with swimming pools. |
| |
There are buildings for
historical interest and beauty, museums, old
farms, fine footpaths of every conceivable length
for tough or gentle walking and in winter
excellent tracks for cross-country skiing and
many ski-lifts.
|
|
| The route takes you straight
through towns and villages with interesting
traditions, original costumes, old crafts and
trades typical of the area; all webbed in sagas,
folk-songs, music and art. |
 |
|
|
From the building of
barrel-organs and cutting of precious stones in
Waldkirch to the secular architecture and
beautiful Black Forest costumes of St. Peter and
St. Märgen and the choiceness of a resort like
Hinterzarten.
|
The
majestic Kandel mountain is a further jewel - with its
Kandel-hotelnd the hang-gliders' starting ramp, at the
crossing for innumerable footpaths.
| There are sights and events
of interest throughout the year. Concerts in
Hinterzarten, St. Peter and Waldkirch draw
hundreds of visitors each year. |
You will soon
realize that this route "has it all",
and that, all the year round, it is well worth
taking time to see.
|
| Stay here for a few days or
for the whole of your holiday. |
