Orientation in the Black Forest

This weekend the UMass exchange group took a trip into the Black Forest. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, everything from the landscape to the 400-year-old farm we toured to the sunrise over the hilltops to our midnight stargazing. For UMass students who plan on studying in Baden-Württemberg, make sure to hike back after the orientation weekend is complete. You'll get some of the best pictures. Also don't touch the harmless-looking wires on the side of the road unless you like getting shocked.
Here are some of the pictures I took with my phone:

Journey through the Schwarzwald - March 8

It's very difficult to capture in words what you see here. Even a video doesn't do it justice.

Im Schwarzwald

Our very first Saturday was spent in the quaint and quiet black forest. With our Regiokarte we were able to travel for free around the area surrounding Freiburg. So we decided to check out St. Peter, a small village centered around a gorgeous medieval church and a library (which was unfortunately closed); Titisee, which lies on a lake hidden in the middle of a mountainous forest; and Neustadt, a small town that has the feel of a city, what the Germans call a Flecken.
