Black Forest - taking it easy

Fully charged I started early for sunrise after I cleaned the kiosk and climbed the summit again. Other hikers already came down and told me to hurry for the sun but I kept a steady pace. It was out by the time I came up and the view was great. I even saw the Säntis again, which was over 120 km away from the Feldberg. On my way down I came to a hut where two bikers stayed for the night and they told me a fox stole their fruits. The day before I heard a story about the same hut and probably the same fox stealing sausages, which hikers left unsealed.
In the next village Bärental I ate my breakfast at the highest train station of Germany. Now the sun was really hot and there was no cover from the trees until I got to lake Titi. One camping ground after another and tons of people walking around the lake. I heard a lot of spanish and the one I greeted in spanish might have been italian. Climbing up the next mountain with a good view of lake Titi and the Feldberg to then get down on the other side into the next town, meeting another hiker on the way down, who told me about someone offering free accommodation. After lunch I continued up the mountain on the other side and into the forest. Up there the path was almost even and I felt the short night after a long day in my legs with a low energy level. Just when my mood was down and my head thought, let's just continue walking and smiling, a hiker appeared in front of me. Right before I caught up to her, she turned right and confused me, because I saw no trail there on my map. A minute later I decided to wait and see if she's coming back on my trail again. So I finally met someone walking my way and I enjoyed her company for the rest of the day. She stayed at a guesthouse, where we had dinner together and I walked a km back away from the road to a field where we had a break earlier. I cowboy camped and people with a camper van also liked the spot parking 50 m next to me. The night was covered with more and more stars as time passed by.Read more
