Feldberg!

..::*+ Small Talk +*::..

Sometimes it IS provocative, but one doesn’t realize that. I wonder what’s the motive of that alone. Not that you won a lottery or something.

But apart from that, this week has been quite tiring, especially fell sick on days which I wasn’t supposed to. Hrmm.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So on the Friday evening of last last week, 20.08.2010, we had our stuffs packed and went to Karlsruhe-Durlach to stay at Jia Jin’s place. We had good, snoring sleep, which everyone complained about. And the next day early morning we headed to Feldberg. Imagine we had to wake up around 5am just to get prepared up… sweat.

Okay you might ask why Feldberg? It is because Feldberg is the highest point of the Black Forest.

But anyway, we arrived at our destination around 9am if not mistaken. Hmmm, what was so nice about Feldberg? it has the geographically highest train station in Germany. 967 meters above sea level wow.

See how nice the sky was! How I wish that nowadays we still can have this kind of weather. But really, praise the Lord for such a wonderful weather!

So we started our hiking journey. We talked, we snapped photos, and we chatted. The scenery was very very awesome and I couldn’t stop but to admire how great our Creator is. At first we walked thru some forest area. Quite dark and my camera didn’t really able to capture enough lights. But the pictures are still awesome!

nice flower can.

Well well, it’s even better if you come to see it yourself! Anyway, after a while walking, we came to the Feldsee. It’s a lake, but with nice scenery!

These 5 pictures… ummmm, you stitch it yourself, then you’ll get a nice view of it =) Well, it’s not just a lake, but also a small river flowing AWAY from the lake. So the question is, how the lake gets its water?

      

After a short distance walking we came to ermmm… a big open area and some weird carvings and some huts.

 

   

We had our rest at a restaurant-hut nearby.

wise man with magazine and a slice of cake and a cup of cappuccino. what else more you can get?

what is this…? cow with a pig head?

 

 

     

   

As you can see, from open area we went into forest again, across rivers and waterfalls….

 

king of the world, I supposed. Haha.

and we came out from the forest!

 

we had our lunch before climbing the hill. But hey, the käsespätzle was AWESOME, apparently they use Bergkäse, a kind of cheese from mountain? lol.

 

 

 

And we saw our destination, far away.

 

 

Finally, at local time 1400h something, we reached the peak of Feldberg!

The thing is, according to James’s shadow, the sun is shining from the ‘süd’ direction, which means south. So who says sunset is at west? =S

If you go up the tower, you’ll then be officially at the highest point of Feldberg, but who cares? lol.

mooo, but poor cows cannot touch the electrified wire. Jonathon’s camera touched the wire. Maybe it’d improve the potential of the camera? haha.

 

This is not German Black Forest Cake, schwarzwäldischer Kirschtorte.

After that we went back to our starting point, by that time we were a little tired.

     
poser haha.

We got ourselves some souvenirs, which I couldn’t find my spoon, again. Anyway, we waited for the bus and headed to Titisee.

       

I want to play water! Haha, but anyway, we took the boat pedaling thingy and went for 30mins ride. I didn’t capture anything using my Sony, ‘cuz I used James’s better camera.

But anyway, after that we had ice-cream and went back.

The train station is sorta quite high place as well.

*m. ü. M. means meter über das Meer, meter over sea level

Tata! Hope you enjoyed this. It has been a while since my last photo-update right? I’ll try to come out more pictures okay? hehe.
