    I'm off to the Black Forest in a couple of weeks (via Calais, Bastogne) on my way to Interlaken. I've got a couple of nights booked in Baden-Baden and I want two more nights a little further south but still in the B.F. before I go into Switzerland. Can anybody recommend somewhere please ?
    I was going to do this trip on the bike on my own, but and it's a big BUT, the wife has spent all of her time looking after her mum after she had a fall and broke her knee cap into three pieces. This has been since the beginning of May and she's still doing it, living at her mum's sixty miles away. So she's decided she needs a holiday just when I was about to go away and enjoy myself. Can't really say no can I ?
    So if anyone knows of a nice little town in the southern part of the BF with some nice shops and restaurants and a brauhaus ?

    If/when you make it to Interlaken, have a ride up to Lauterbrunnen. Nice road, great scenery. Then jump on the train to Wengen - spectacular scenery if you sit on the left side of the train (there is no vehicular access to Wengen as far as I know - at least there wasn't back then!). You can go as far as Jungfraujoch - the station inside the mountain - if you so desire, but you do have to change trains at Kliene Scheidegg if memory serves.
    SWMBO and I just went as far as Wengen as we were staying in France near Pontarlier and wanted to complete the trip in daylight. Even then it turned into a long (hot) day.:)

    I was just going to say, in a bowl and drizzle with a bit of single cream, but maybe I think of my stomach too much !!!!

    I've never been but I'm led to believe Freiburg is nice,plenty of hotels and not far from the B500
