The Black Forest: More than a piece of cake!

This is where the original blackforest cake is from: Triberg! It is a little sleepy village in Schwarzwald, Germany and you can get here easily by the inexpensive regional trains. Come through Offenburg and you will be delighted by the landscape, especially during autumn. What to do and see here? 🔸Hike up to one of the highest waterfalls in Germany 🔸Shop for hand carved miniatures 🔸Explore the biggest cuckoo clock shop! 🔸Eat cake 🍰❤️ Cafe Adler claims to have the original blackforest cake recipe and provides a non-alcoholic version too. Take note though, there are other bakeries and cafes that claim to have BETTER than the original. There’s only ONE way to find out: try ‘em all! 😂 There are a few hotels here but it is also great for a day trip. Cafe Alder also provides accommodation. There is a large supermarket, many eateries and pubs to eat the local fare. If you aren’t too keen on bratwursts and sauerkraut, there’s a nice Turkish place that serves great wraps! My #2023travelwish is to explore German Christmas markets! I love their handiwork, breads and all their types of teas! It would be a dream come true to walk these markets in the winter time ❤️ #blackforest #goodfoodgoodmood
