Having left Bad Wildbad around mid-day we drove through many charming Black Forest Villages as well as few larger towns. We stopped at the Alte Tränke Hotel at Bad Rippoldsau before moving on to the Black Forest Open Air Museum, (Schwarzwälder Freilichtmuseum) at Gutach. As the afternoon wore on, we visited Triberg Falls and Wutach Gorge on our way to our accommodation here at the Gasthaus Kreuz Hotel in Riedern am Wald.
After driving through forests as we neared our days destination we drove into meticulously maintained agricultural fields and through equally neat and tidy villages.
The broad scale agriculture practiced here seemed to be on very rich soils with most private housing in neatly arranged villages rather than out on the farms as we might see in Australia. I do however much prefer the German model.
For now it was time to relax, have a beer and prepare for our next days drive to Vaduz in Leichtenstein.

Cove 19 was created as a result of the very serious drought and bushfires that occurred in NSW in September, October, November and December of 2019.
The area had been planted out with Bangalow Palms 15 to 20 years prior but almost all of them died in the drought, leaving a mass of dead and dry fronds on each palm, not to mention other trees that had also died or were close to death as a result of the long drought.
The drought finally broke with reasonable rain on 8th January 2020, with good follow-up rain soon after.
Fearing that drought might return or continue into the following spring it was decided that burning the dead fronds and trunks was essential in order to reduce the volume of dry vegetative fuel on the ground.
From March 2020 we started a program of cutting down the dead Bangalow Palms. Some were taken to the council tip but this became cost prohibitive so burning was decided upon. With all the palms cut down we went looking for a suitable place to conduct the burning close to the site.
This site shown here in this photo was selected.
We had many nights around the fires and gradually reduced the fuel load substantially.
This burning operation coincided with Covid 19 arriving in Australia and eventually the NSW Government established rules which codified non-contact with people outside your own family group.
Our friends and neighbours would see the fire at night and would sneek over with a bottle of red and despite the strict no contact restrictions we would often sit around the fire and discuss world events among other things, all socially distanced of course.
We achieved what was necessary and throughout March of 2020 a new planting program commenced and this time we planted hardy subtropical and dry rainforest tree species.
With the area where we burned now relatively cleared it was decided that the area be thereafter known as Cove 19. From our conversations other names arose for the circular track that passes Cove 19 as well as the forest in this part of the property. With Trump in power in the USA daily sprooking conspiracy theories it was decided that the forest be named the 'Forest of Conspiracy' and the circular track, 'Fake News Loop'.
Over the years 2021-2-3-4 and 2025 small progress was made toward preparing to pave this area, now known as Cove 19. Lots of planting of rainforest trees since 2020 had paid dividends and the area was taking shape nicely.
In early 2025 we acquired access to a source of free concrete pavers and this spurred the paving project along with its eventual completion in June of 2025.
With five years of excellent rainfall the trees planted in the first half of 2020 have now really put on height and the entire area is now covered with dense rainforest vegetation.
A visiting friend saw an opportunity to use an old satelite dish he had lying around and offered to build a shade umbrella from it. It was added in early June 2025 resulting in the whole project being finalised and looking great.
We still have some landscaping to complete but hopefully that will be finished in the next few weeks ie. by the end of June 2025.

This is Ambroise Perruchot, a young French Masters Graduate in Financial Administration. Ambro, as we called him (because Aussies always shorten things), was a great guy who came to us via the workstay app - 'HelpX' whereby visitors stay with us, receiving a bed and food, in return for 3-5 hours of work per day. We've been host members of HelpX for 15 years and all our references have been 5 star.
Most of our HelpX visitors have been from France though we've had visitors from many other European countries as well and the experience has always been uplifting and always culturally interesting, each visitor bringing their own unique perspective on the world. For us learning about their country, its culture, society, politics and language is always educational.
What has overwhelmingly struck us is the work ethic, manners, intellect and wonderful personalities of all our guests, most of whom have been university graduates, many with PHD's and Masters degrees.
Almost all are aged under 35 though many are much younger, Many are travelling Australia using HelpX, or other similar organisations like Workaway, when they need to save some money. Most are either taking a break travelling before undergoing studies or are travelling before going back home to paid jobs.
The 'Repeated Subject Panorama' pictured above is just a bit of fun and our HelpX guests are always good subjects. My best efforts so far have been to capture the subject 4 times. Getting to 5 times has proven difficult, given the availability of only an 180 degree pan but I haven't given up.
Cove 19 was so named because it was cleared out in March of 2020 during the Covid 19 outbreak for the purpose of burning dozens of dead Bangalow Palms that had died in the drought of 2019. This was essential as the fire risk of leaving them on the ground was just too high. Fortunately 5 years of good to excellent rain since 2020 has minimised fire risk, for now at least, however drought is always just around the corner.
After 5 years of "I'm gunna do it", with the major help of my regular once a week worker, Dave Claassen, the paving was completed in early May 2025 and the seat tops secured by neighbour, Peter Mannow.
The first flood waters passed minimally over the pavers in late May of 2025, around the same time Taree was experiencing a record flood height of 6.44m which led to unbelievable devastation of peoples homes and livelyhoods, caused massive erosion, subsequent destruction of buildings, bridges, roads and beaches.
The community resilience however is high and help is never far away. With empathetic government assistance there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the worst affected, however its going to take time and lots of money and resolve.
The biggest danger is that with climate change being a major player in these more frequent destructive weather events we must remain alert and prepare as another event like this could be just around the corner, whether it be flood, drought, bushfire or a destructive storm event.

After flying to Hanoi from Sydney we took the overnight train up to Sapa in far north Vietnam for 4 days, returning to Hanoi and then flying to Frankfurt in Germany.
In order to pick up our Peugeot 3008 AWD lease car the closest city was Frankfurt. Most pickup/drop off cities are in France and apart from Frankfurt in Germany the only other country is Italy with pickup/drop off points in Rome and Milan.
The Sixt Rent a Car Office in Langen near the Airport in Frankfurt suited our itinerary best for pickup and return.
The minimum lease period was 21 days when we travelled in 2023, but in 2024 its now 15 days. The maximum lease period is 175 days.
The car you are leasing is brand new with just a few kilometres on the clock. There's a a few things to consider. Make sure to purchase your Toll Road Passes and when travelling in Europe and it's important to anticipate what kind of tires you may need, especially if you are likely to encounter snow on the road at any stage.
We leased the car through Car 2 Europe - Driveaway and it was a very simple process, but the booking had to be completed well ahead of the date of pickup.
The company picked us up from Frankfurt Airport and delivered us back to the airport at the end of our 29 day lease period. We ended up driving 3,143 km in the 29 days with more than one third of that distance with the car in hybrid mode at a total cost of just $500 Australian in fuel costs.
It was indeed a huge relief to get the car back in one piece, and without a mark on it, though not so sure the tires would agree having frequently had to deal with the high brick edges on many roads, particularly in Germany. Fortunately though, everything went well driving wise for us, even allowing for us having to adjust quickly to driving on the opposite side of the road to that which we drive in Australia.
The route map above shows our route and the towns and cities we stayed in, along with the number of overnight stays in each place. We aimed to keep the driving under 300kms per day, but some days did exceed that when mountain passes closed on us requiring us to take unintended long detours.
The pace of this itinerary may be a little fast for some travellers however it was necessary owing to the fact that we had to pick up a tour in Iceland on a specific date a few weeks after leaving Frankfurt. After we did leave Frankfurt, we hired another car and drove around Denmark for 6 days before we flew to Iceland.
The planning for this trip took several years and was originally planned for 2020 but Covid put a stop to that.
Our itinerary was designed, after studying Google Earth/Maps, with the aim of allowing us to drive as many mountain passes in the European Alps as we could fit into our available 29 day time frame.
The full journey is documented on Polarsteps.
It obviously would have been better however had we had up to another 7 days, but of course that also means an additional 7 days of expensive accommodation, not to mention the extra meal costs.
It is worth noting that leasing is far cheaper than renting a car over periods beyond 21 days in Europe, and whilst it did work out well for us, if something had gone wrong, I'm not sure how much support one could reasonably expect from the company.
Nevertheless, given our experience we would have no hesitation in doing it again.
