We decided to hike a little in the Black Forest, but as there was snow above 1000 meters, we were a little concerned that the snow might be a little deep on Belchen (first picture) at 1415 m. Our compromise was to drive up to a pass at 1080 m called Kreuzweg. From there is a pleasant loop hike over Kälbelescheuer and Heldenhof and back to Kreuzweg.
As we suspected, the hike was right above at the snow line. The snow added to the beauty of the hike, covering the trees and the ground with a couple of inches. But the spectacular thing were the views of Feldberg (third picture) and Belchen. These are Germany's second and third highest peaks.
Frannie was quite enamored by the snow. She doesn't get excited by much, but this was special. She was running in circles, jumping up and down, back and forth, grabbing mouthfuls of snow, just generally wanting to play. It was a joy to watch.
She also got to visit another resturant as we stopped a the Gaststätte at Heldenhof before the climb back to Kreuzweg. Here she met a Münsteränder for the first time. Both showed impeccable resturant manners.
