Titisee to be precise, which is often called the king of the Black Forest lakes being the largest natural lake in the Forest and which was carved out by the Bären glacier and is fed by the Seebach.
It is 2kms long and 800 metres wide and takes around 90 minutes to walk around its 6km circumference and the deepest point is 40m and sits 850m above see level.
The lake was first mentioned in recorded history in 1111.
It is a popular place to visit, there being at least 15 buses plus when we left there after mid afternoon.
As a consequence of its popularity the locals go hard out to make a quid and there are the typical souvenir shops up both sides of the road leading to the lake to the point that it makes the shopping area feel tacky but once one sees past that the lake itself is quite stunning.
At a cafe Sherry ordered a coffee which was served very strong so we went to the counter to get some water to tone it down and were charged €1 for a cup – I did say the locals go hard to make a quid!
Kms walked to date 133.4
Spent in diesel to date €65
Spent on tolls to date €0
