Black Forest: The Place, Not the Gateux!

By
We made two trips to the Black Forest region. The initial trip was the exploratory one while the second one was with a special purpose; to purchase a specialty of this region got to offer!

 Black Forest brings specific things in mind. The pine forest, the hipped roof houses, and the name always associated with the famous "Blackforest" cake (English name of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte dessert). Yet, some people do not know the Black Forest is indeed a beautiful and wild place in Germany, famous for its own unique specialties other than the cake itself!

Typical view of Black Forest

Black Forest is a mountainous at Southwestern of Germany bordering Swiss on the Northern side and can be easily accessible from Swiss through the Basel exit point (All exit points to Germany need to use Basel!). As this is the largest nature park in Germany that stretches approximately 150 km from north to south and on average 50 km from west to east. Black Forest is considered the mecca for nature lovers! Fall is the best time to visit Black Forest because the green forest magically  is transformed into shades of red, orange and brown views.  Very breathtaking and magical indeed!

1st Day: Geneve to Freiburg
Our initial trip to Black Forest was on the third day of Aidilfitri in 2007. Packing ourselves with the balance of raya foods, we headed to the Black Forest, Germany for a vacation. It's just an overnight trip, so we were only covering the Southern part of Black Forest.

Among the famous towns within Black Forest famous with tourists includes Freiburg, Titisee, Triberg and many more. Our first trip weekend trip to Black Forest area was to explore the region with our first stop at the largest city there know as Freiburg. Then, we continued our journey to Triberg and then coming down via Titisee and then back Swiss border town, Basel.


Location: Freiburg, Germany

Ingin mengembara ke Switzerland?

Pemandangan Switzerland dari langit Switzerland memang menjadi idaman para pelancong dan pengembara. Cantik dengan gunung-ganang, tasik, dan bandar yang kaya dengan sejarah. Switzerland bukan sahaja popular dengan cokelat, keju dan jam, tetapi juga menjadi lokasi penggambaran filem-filem hebat dar luar -- Sangam; The Sound of Music; James Bond; Diwale; Crash Landing on You; video clip lagu " Jackpot " oleh Bastian Baker dan banyak lagi!! Saya nak berkongsi dengan pembaca agar tulisan ini dapat menjadi panduan sebelum menjejakkan kaki ke Switzerland. Saya banyak menerima pertanyaan dari rakan-rakan mengenai Switzerland. Terutamanya rakan-rakan di Malaysia. Soalan-soalan di bawah ni memang cukup popular: (1) Apakah tempat menarik yang harus saya lawati di Switzerland? (2) Bagaimana dengan penginapan? hotel di sana mahal atau tak? (3) Bagaimana cara mudah hendak ke Switzerland, melalui London? Paris? atau Amsterdam? (4) Bagaimana hendak bergerak dari satu tempat k...

Final Farewell to Winter 2019

By
Winter is over now... however, it refused to let go the baton to Spring before a final showdown.  So at last, on 4th April 2019, winter delivers its final snow here in Geneva.  We are lucky as this is the first snow fall at La Vigie, we though we have to wait until next winter to view the snowfall here in our new home. Words cannot deliver the beauty of fresh snowfall early in the morning.  By noon, all the beauty slowly fades away. Enjoy the view. A bientot... ~ yatiseman `

Tentang Penulis : SAYA & DIA

TENTANG SAYA "Ada apa aku dan dunia ini? Tiadakah dunia dan aku ini melainkan seperti seorang pengembara yang berlindung daripada panas di bawah sepohon pokok, kemudian pergi meninggalkannya". (Riwayat alTarmizi, dinilai sahih oleh al-Albani) "One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." (Hendry Miller, writer) Tiada yang istimewa. Saya hanya se orang anak kampung yang dilahirkan di s ebuah daerah terpencil negeri Kedah. Rumah tok hanya sebuah rumah kayu usang. Rumah yang malamnya hanya samar-samar dengan kelipan pelita minyak tanah. Mandinya hanya air perigi yang sejuk nyaman.  Saya dibesarkan kira-kira dua tahun dengan persekitaran sawah padi menghijau dan menguning. Pada musim menuai, kelihatan tubuh-tubuh tua membanting padi. Pada petangnya lelihatan kanak-kanak mengail puyu dan sepat. Saya kemudian berhijrah dari satu negeri ke negeri lain. Itu hanya titik permulaan kisah hidup saya. Langkah pertama sebelum saya menerok...
