Tourist Profile travel and photography

Baiersbronn im Schwarzwald

..or how they put it on the official website Earth : Europe : Germany : Baden-Württemberg : Northern Black Forest : Region Karlsruhe : Freudenstadt County : commune Baiersbronn, is a lovely area within the Black Forest with plenty of vacation opportunities both in winter and summer.

The entire commune has 16.082 residents, split among Baiersbronn village with 5.735 residents, Friedrichstal, Mitteltal, Obertal, Tonbach, Klosterreichenbach, Röt-Schönegründ, Huzenbach, Schwarzenberg, Schönmünzach and Schönmünz with only 162 residents.

With such a small community that receives plenty of tourists all year round people are cheerful and welcoming. We went there to find some ski slopes and were amazed by how trusting and friendly everyone is there.
One example is at the ski renting shop in Baiersbronn village, where they were closing shop on Sunday at noon but let us keep the skis all day with the promise to put them behind the house, with a small paper note in them stating our names, before we left. Where would you find something like this ? Complete strangers renting a couple of ski equipment sets and than walking away on promise to bring them back in the evening.
Another example is that we left our gloves and hats and a pair of snow glasses on a bench near the slope elevator when we got there and they were still there in the evening when we packed things into the car.
Not to mention that everyone on the ski trail was friendly and helpful even if at times bothered involuntarily by some of us making mistakes and falling off the cable while going up.

And at the end of the day we left for home tired, happy and with a few lovely photos from which the ones posted above. Sometimes things just go right.. happy with the photographs and the time spent there, now all that's left is to get back there before summer comes and melts the snow.

Cheers!
