April in south Black Forest

Short trip to Swarzwald. Interesting photo points, trekking routes, main highlights, which can be done in three days.

Of course some of them must have been left for later. We had to choose so that three days were varied and did not consist only of waterfalls or gorges. There were routes of a panorama, a mountain top (phot. the peak of Belchen -Most beautiful panoramic mountain in the Black Forest), a gorge and a waterfall.

Old watermills like this one near Elzach. Lots of small local breweries or the bigger and famous like Rothaus in Grafenhausen near Schluchsee, that is an attraction itself...

The real highlight is a Triberg Waterfall. Picturesque path prepared also for strollers. The Triberg Waterfalls are among Germany's highest waterfalls, with a drop of 163m and seven steps. You can visit them till 10 PM. The waterfalls are illuminated and you can enjoy a very special atmosphere.Parking situation is a little bit thight so it is worthy to be not so late.

 

 

For our gorge path we choose the short atraction in Ravenna Schlucht. We went there late afternoon and it was really empty. In comparison to Triberger nothing was like going on there.

 

At the entrance to Ravenna Gorge you can stop at the Ravenna creek. There is a nicely located small house, that you can consider as an interesting photo point for starters :). In the background there is a rail viaduct from end of XIX century.

For photographers a must-see or must-photograph point is for sure the curve just next to Ravenna Gorge. The well known piece of road is called Kreuzfelsenkurveand it is probably the most spectacular curve in the Black Forest. 

What I chose for myself for some sunrise photo shooting was the picturesque countryside around the village St. Märgen with the Ohmen Chapel.

The easy to reach view point with the panorama view over the lanndscape near St. Märgen with the Ohmen Chapel

 

Of course if you are already in St. Märgen it's worthy to get closer to the chapel. the chapel itself is an attractive object for some photos, especially from a drone.
