Kniebis - Horb a. Neckar

Photo 1: One rule of thumb for hikers: "Never turn your back on a bear"... unless of course the bear is not really a bear.

Photo 2: Early morning in the Black Forest.

Photos 3 - 5: I really enjoyed the hike down the mountain from Kniebis the first part of the day. The second half went up and over a number of hills so that I still climbed 746 altimeters. I was able to get my tent up in the evening at the campground in Horb with the last bit of warm sun still shining. It quickly turned cool, though, once the sun went down. The restaurant at the campground is only open now on the weekend. So I ordered a pizza and a salad and was quite glad to have it once it got there. It was the first night on the job for the young man doing the delivery and he could not figure out how to get to the entry to the campground. I could not help him, because I walked there and came from a back path...
