Another mostly sunny day, as we continued our journey south through the seemingly endless Black Forest….

Pulling off the road for a break and a walk, we discovered the hillside village of Langenbrand – to live here you would need a healthy set of lungs as no property appeared to be on the same level…

On our way further south we pulled in to have a look at the World’s largest Cuckoo Clock and were just in time to hear it cuckoo 3pm, though not early enough to get close enough for a proper photo with the cuckoo out!….

We also had a wonder around the gift shop at the amazing array of clocks – this one standing out in particular – the craftmanship….

From here is was a short haul to our Aire for the night, high up in the hillside village of Schonach – right next to the ski slope!!

Quite fittingly we have been given a severe weather warning for snow fall tomorrow night – now tempting as it is, this location is pretty remote and I’m not sure I fancy being stuck here with no power and potentially water for a few days, so we shall be moving on tomorrow.

Thoughts of the day:

• I am having a rethink about my plans (again), as much as I have enjoyed the scenery and stopping off at random villages or places of interest, I am missing the sea and the sense of purpose of visiting different beaches. It is also a little early to venture into the mountains of Switzerland and Austria as per my original plans as though I have winter tyres, I am not willing to risk getting cut off or caught out on the higher mountain roads that these countries do so well, whilst the weather is still so unpredictable – so we are heading south to the coast for awhile…
• I was always a bit uncertain as to how I would take to an inland road trip and now know the answer!

Today’s stats:

• Miles driven – 78
• Miles walked – 3.5
• Food – £14.54
• O/N – £10.38 (no EHU)
