Mummelsee, Black Forest, Germany


Driving along the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse ( please don't ask me how to read this word ), the scenery was breathtaking.


On reaching an altitude of above 1000m, with temperature dropping to 10 degree Celsius


The Berghotel appeared.



There is a lake next to it, a misty and spooooooky lake. According to legends, the lake is inhabited by a Nix ( a water spirit that likes to appear as beautiful mermaid ) and the King of the Mummelsee.



I preferred to go into the warm hotel looking for quality German smoked hams and sausages rather than staring at the spooky lake.



Or to enjoy a cup of warm coffee and a piece of black forest cake like this charming lady. Hey, she was smiling at me, how lucky.


There was a young man in the drizzling rain looking hard into the misty lake, must be trying his luck, looking for the Nix or the King of Mummelsee.
