Eva, Craig and I (and the 2 dogs) decided on a 2 day hike in the Black Forest. Eva made all the arrangments and mapped our course and we were off. The hike was supposed to involve hiking up 2 mountains in the Black Forest (Belchen and Blauen). The hike was to take 2 days and cover a distance of 37km.
The hike was beautiful and mostly uneventful except for 2 things. One, we were nearly stampeded by a herd of cows. Our hiking path went though their field and lets just say they did not appreciate tourists. Two, it snowed! I think we must have been at 1100 meters or so when it started snowing. By the time we reached the top of Belchen we could barely see. We got to experience the first snowfall of the season.
The second day of the hike was canceled due to rain. It was raining so hard that we would have been soaked in under 5 minutes. And it would not have been fun to hike for 6 hours, wet and cold.
