Geroldsauer Wasserfall Hike: Exploring the Black Forest
When my best friend saw a hot guy who posted a reel about “Bali in the Black Forest”, he could hardly talk about anything else. So of course we had to explore it the first chance we had! The destination was the “Gay”roldsauer Waterfalls (Geroldsauer Wasserfall to be precise, but the overpowering gay vibes of my friend must’ve influenced my English Google Maps pronunciation 😀 ) close to Baden-Baden and led me once again to my beloved Schwarzwaldhochstraße.
It turned out to be an unexpected flowery paradise!

Pravčická Archway and an Odyssey in Hřensko
It was day 12 of our honeymoon, and I had already chased the hubster through the Alps, Munich, Würzburg, Leipzig, Dresden, and half of the Sächsische Schweiz (‘Saxon Switzerland’). In short: we were EXHAUSTED. It was our last day in Saxon Switzerland and we thought of taking it easy with a short hike. We googled a bit and found the Prebischtor in Czechia (Pravčická Archway or ‘Pravčická brána‘ in Czech, don’t ask me how to pronounce it though 😉 ), in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, which we could reach by boat. It’s the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe and one of the most recognisable natural landmarks in Czechia. Apparently, even some scenes from The Chronicles of Narnia were shot there.
According to Google, it was an easy, family-friendly hike, and it all sounded pretty great, so what could possibly go wrong?
…
A LOT!

Kloster Allerheiligen: Abbey Ruins, Waterfalls, and a Saga Hike
When my mother had an appointment in the beautiful town of Kappelrodeck in the Black Forest, I was the first to volunteer to drive her there. I immediately suggested making a day trip out of it and doing some hiking. I hadn’t done any research and did it in Kappelrodeck itself. Google immediately suggested the “Kloster Allerheiligen” (All Saints) Abbey Ruins and Waterfalls which were only a 20 min drive away.
Abbey Ruins? Count me in!
