    good morning, this sleep was highly appreciated after that drive…. and i found a nice view when i woke up - direktly from my bed... so today is about buying some food for the next days - the stores surely will be closed over x-mas… since we are in covid times we decided not to stay at my brothers place but in this apartment near him. it’s up in the hills so it takes 30 minutes to reach the valley and the store by car 🚙. but there is one small cooperative store here in gersbach, and they sell tasty local food!Read more

    our first hike in the snow ❄️🚶‍♀️- *w*o*n*d*e*r*f*u*l* - i love when the snow puts his white fluffy cover over the world and all sounds reach your ears so softly, as they had to pass a room full of cotton wool. your shoes crunch with every step and it glistens through the trees from everywhere.Read more

    i already told you that i do not stay at my brothers place in maulburg (area schopfheim) like i normally always do but in gersbach in this apartment owned by the adam family 😜… gersbach lies in a high valley basin, open to the south, of the eponymous brook in the southern black forest at an altitude of 800–1170 m above sea level. the spatial distance to the old town of schopfheim is 16 km and 600 meters in altitude. the formerly independent village and the six hamlets belonging to it (fetzenbach, gersbach-au, lochmühle, metteln, neuhaus, and schlechtbach) form baden-württemberg's largest district on an area of ​​2009 hectares. the rohrenkopf (1173 m) is gersbach's highest point. when the weather is clear, the swiss alps with the “triumvirate” of the eiger, mönch and jungfrau can be seen. many other viewpoints in the area, such as the hohe möhr (989 m) near schlechtbach, provide a view of the border triangle germany-france-switzerland. gersbach belongs to the following regions: markgräflerland, baden, black forest, southern black forest and, in a broader sense, to the hotzenwald (which i love not only as word).Read more

    today we grabbed the chance and crossed the field across the country. since we don't have that much fresh snow ❄️, it works very well without snowshoes. we currently have a view of the alps 🏞, but unfortunately I can't take a picture, I really need a new cell phone 📱. so we trudge across the fields, admire the eiger, mönch and jungfrau in 130 km away and look forward to the hot tea 🍵 afterwards. unfortunately, the wood stove in the apartment is not yet connected, but luckily we have the fire barrel 🔥 with us 😍.Read more

    today was a wonderful sunny day. i love winter in my home area… although it is cold it does not bother, because the humidity is low and you often have blue sky. temperature really is not the problem. in the evening you can sit outside by the fire 🔥 watch the sunset 🌅 and chat to the neighbors passing by. from time to time somebody stops, joins the fire 🔥, enjoys a tea or coffee ☕️ with you and shares the newest village gossip 😜. life can be so enjoyable ❤️❤️❤️.Read more

    hahahaaaaa i knew it - we are snowed in… so we were not able to reach the apartment because the hill was too steep and the last part of the road was not cleared from snow. so we went as far as possible, i unloaded all the stuff and carried it to to apartment. rainer went down into the village center and parked the car 🚙 there. good that i grew up in this area, so now we will have a veeeery cozy time ❄️🔥🍵☺️.Read more

    i love to drive random roads… this is one of them. we visited a hunter to buy some young boar 🐗, so we had to drive into a smaller village. best opportunity to try out some new roads 🤪. yeah well i know… if you don’t have snow chains with you in winter it might get interesting and if this happens on a a narrow road with oncoming traffic it might lead you in a new adventure - yippee!!!Read more
