The part we went in was very beautiful, but they do a lot of tree harvesting, since it&#8217;s near a town (and thus a tram line).  It wasn&#8217;t so much the black forrest there as the shady forrest with spots of light where trees had been turned into firewood.<br \/>\nIt really is a lovely place to hike though.  Ironically, the logging roads provide good reference points and ways to avoid getting lost.  after hiking for a good long time, we finally got out of sight and hearing of the town.  We stood for a moment at a (unnatural) clearing and looked down into the valley below.  No buildings.  No chain saws.  No cars.  Nothing but birds, wind through the trees and the occasional cowbell (well, it&#8217;s not 100% natural, but an altogether different feeling than city noise).  Ah, lovely peace!  Finally, outside of a city for the first time in so long!<br \/>\nBut this is about wildlife:  On the way back, we saw a deer, running through the woods, startles by our talking.  In Karlsruhe, the next evening, I was stung by a bumble bee.  Two days later, while showing in K\u00f6ln, I pulled a live tick from my leg.  It wiggled it&#8217;s little legs at me in a plea for release, so I dropped into a watery grave.<br \/>\nTags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Black+Forest\" rel=\"tag\">Black Forest<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Celesteh\" rel=\"tag\">Celesteh<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went hiking in the black Forest.
