Snow paradise in the Black Forest

I’ve never-ending been to the Black Forest and didn’t know what to expect. This was so awesome!

The snow, the landscapes, everything. It felt like a super cool snow adventure and I was hiking, having a barbecue and playing in the snow and had just a great time.

Sometimes I was hiking to deep snow on tracks with pure, untouched snow:

What is more, I met super nice people, had great conversations about the Black Forest and how it is changing, wolfs, life and what it’s about and I even got mulled wine from some nice hikers.

The photos above are from the days after my first day there. The first day was really harsh, frozen and windy. In the night Rosinante was shaking because of the storm and when I got out to start my hike, it looked like this:

And the next days the sun came out, the trees were thawing and everything got even better! Listen to these sounds:

Winter christmas wonderland Harz mountains

The first real winter landscapes with lots of snow and temperatures around-10 degrees celsius. I really enjoyed these days and landscapes.

In my experience temperature’s colder than -5 degrees celsius can really change the living in a car. Of course I’m using the diesel heater in there cabin of Rosinante more if it gets colder. What is more different parts of Rosinante can get frozen: the water in the additional waterproof canisters mounted to the outside of the cabin, windshield wipers, doors, fuel filters, locks… It’s always good to take care of everything made of rubber.

Visiting my friends and family for the last time for several years felt weird. When I normally say good bye to someone I meet, I’m not thinking much about it. It’s just it and we will meet again sometime soon or later. But this time it will be much later.
