Black Forest and Busking in Gaggenau, Germany

We set off from our Black Forest campsite by 9 am, and soon were at a viewing point overlooking fantastic countryside.

We stopped to take a photo, and asked a German van driver to take out picture.  He obliged, and told us about various facets of the area.  For example, we didn't realise that we were so close to France.  We were just a few kms away!
He told us to visit Kaiser Wilhelm's tower for a really good view, which we did.  He kindly followed us back up the road to the junction where we needed to turn.

After a 1km walk, we were at the Kaiser's tower.

161 steps to the top, and a commanding view of the countryside with hills (nay, mountains) all around us.  

Spectacular!

Mr German van driver told us that we were about 900 metres high.  That's about as high as Snowdon!

Glorious.

From there we traveled on and came to a town, called Gaggenau.  I suggested that we stopped and busked for a while.  

We didn't know the name of the town until we were leaving.  

Gaggenau.

What a lovely little town.

We busked for 45 minutes and had a wonderful time.  The locals really appreciated our music.

Well, not all of the locals!  

We had just started packing up when a bulky German came up and started talking to us.  We didn't understand what he said, but we understood his body-language perfectly well!  We are pretty sure he was a town official.  A shame they don't listen to the townspeople, who really like it.

Trouble with the thought police in Gaggenau!

He wanted us to finish.   A bit of a shame for him really, because we had already finished!

He was grumpy.

The rest of the punters loved it.
