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:
