Nice people are around here. Despite the language barrier, I had some nice conversations with my three (too little) years of French lessons... now I'm smarter: in the Black Forest the trees stand like soldiers and it's obviously much wilder here... the hike through the Wormsa Valley was spectacularly beautiful.

Hike through the Wormsa Valley to Lac de Fischboedle. A lake like the Wildsee in the Black Forest. The ascent is almost alpine and requires sure-footedness. But the ascent is compensated by wonderful nature and the lake.

Beautiful landscape, very varied. Absolute calm. The sounds of nature can be fully enjoyed.
