Black Forest Trails and the Balzer Herrgott

A morning feast in Brend was the perfect start to the day, especially as since getting into the woods and hiking on some trails are part of the plan! We take an easy-going trail through the forest to the Balzer Herrgott tree carving, and just let ourselves get in touch with the forest that surrounds us.

We journey through the life of Egon Schiele at the Leopold Museum, where I take a liking to a certain naked lady, before heading out to the park and a cafe hunt!
