Monday 6 October

A latish start because it’s Bren’s birthday, so she’s got cards and prezzies to open, but we’re in no rush. The site fees turned out to be more than was advertised, then we realised the leaflet (in English) was 4 years old! These “stellplatze” are getting a bit dear!

Our plan today is to head to the Lake Titisee/Freiburg area at the start of the Schwartzenwalde Strasse – yes another one! Thwarted initially by a closed road and consequent lengthy delays, we eventually got clear, spotting a Zeppelin on the way (they were made here and there is a museum). We also took a main road and motorway for a short  while to avoid struggling with our more usual back roads – pointless really as there was little to see.
An en-route village
After lunch we went in search of the Wutachschlucht, a forested gorge said to be a nice drive, but after having almost been thwarted again by a road closure we didn’t think it had really been worth it. So via a fuel stop onward to Lake Titisee, a holiday area which Terry visited some years ago, and which we hoped would be much quieter than at that time. The signed motorhome parking turned out to be just that, not suitable for overnighting but a check of our info identified a couple of ACSI sites on the lakeside just outside the town.
The view from our pitch
Selecting the cheaper of the two, which actually looked nicer, we found a nice pitch with lakeside views across to the town. There is a footpath, which we started along but realised it would be dark before we got back. We also saw what looked like a regular ferry service but again it would probably stop at dusk.
