Our drive to Aha and Schulchsee, the largest lake in the Schwarzwald, took us over the highest peak in the Schwarzwald, the Felberg. Quite a climb but a beautiful brooding picture all the way.
We arrived at Schluchsee mid-morning to a warm greeting from Sigi and Bettina. Had some catchup time over a coffee before setting out to the Rothaus Brewery a few kilometres down the road.
Rothaus beer is one of the very popular and tasty beers of this part of the Schwarzwald.
After having a look over the museum and production area of the brewery we had lunch at the restaurant attached.
We were served by a very pleasant German woman who spoke excellent English, and much to our surprise, she informed us that her husband was from Launceston who happens to be the chef at the restaurant.
The meal was delicious and the Black Forest Cherry cake was the real McCoy.
It had started to rain again so we later took cover in another pub for a few more beers before the start of the Euro2016 match between Germany and Northern Ireland.
Once the result seemed inevitable we said our farewells to Sigi and Bettina and commenced our drive to Frankfurt to vote and to catchup with Dirk and Brigitte.
On the motorway we got caught up in and hours delay due to a major accident a short way ahead of us. Some of the speeds that are reached we are surprised that there aren't more of these crashes.
We arrived at Ettlingen for our overnight after 10 pm - quite late for us!
