2023 Black Forest Adventure:
The weather forecast turned from possible rain to nothing but sunshine. A pure sweet golden sound to a cyclist's ears.
No time was lost packing the bikes!
Rhein River 
Pumpkins, almost ready to eat
The infrastructure for cycling exceeded my expectations. Only on very few routes the pavement had to be shared with motorized vehicles and all accommodations provided safe storage for our two-wheelers.

Relaxing, at times somewhat strenuous ride to the Titisee followed.

| Downhill to Titisee |
The beauty of the Titisee had to be shared with hoards of other people, who flocked in on tourist buses.

| A more peaceful view away from crowds |
Around the Schluchsee, it was somewhat more peaceful with fewer crowds.
A speedy downhill ride to Sankt Blasien followed.

Nothing in the Black Forest is flat and riding was a continuous workout, but it promoted appetite and thirst for the evening.

At times I thought we had taken a wrong turn...
Riding through the country side and farm villages, the biggest challenge, was finding a restaurant open for business during the day. Germans do have short work weeks, but never anticipated those extended closures and surviving on water on German soil!! (daylight hours)
Some places to revisit.

| Meal and Brew is a Must! |

| Waldhaus Brewery |
After one final night out in Tiengen, we continued in the opposite direction, heading toward our original starting points.
