In the last weekend of April, we decided to make a day trip to Mummelsee to watch the autumn colours before we left for our annual India vacation. Mummelsee is a small but beautiful lake in Schwarzwald or Black Forest in Germany. Well, winter started early in Germany and we got to see winter wonderland instead of fall colours. Mummelsee is only an hour and a half drive from our place and is beautiful in all seasons. The drive to Mummelsee through Scwarzwalderhochstrasse is scenic. The lake is in the middle of a pine forest. It is better to carry warm clothes even in summer as it can be a bit chilly.
There is a restaurant right next to the lake and couple of take away places. The restaurant serves authentic German food, which I do not particularly like because it consists mostly of meat preparations. But they serve really good cakes and we indulge ourselves in the rich cakes every time we go there. This time, we ordered some käse spätzle as well, in the hope that Sunshine would eat it. But I ended up eating it. It is just a kind of pasta with melted cheese, but was quite tasty.
There is also a souvenir shop right next to Mummelsee which has a decent collection of cuckoo clocks, dolls that are typical of this region and even German cheese and sausages.
It is possible to walk around the lake or up the adjoining hill and we usually do when the weather is better.
This is just the right place to get the 'Black Forest experience' especially when short on time
