Hiking the Feldberg Steig in the Black Forest of Germany

One of my bucket list items in life has always been to hike in the Black Forest; the very same forest where Hansel and Gretel got lost.  So during our drive through this part of Germany, we spent a few days exploring the area, and hiked the Feldberg Steig trail.  We were in the very  same woods where Little Red Riding Hood encountered the wolf and my heart couldn’t be happier.

A Glimpse of the Hand Hollow Conservation Area

We’ve been really enjoying our walks at the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy, but decided to wander over to the other side of the Hudson River this week.  We decided upon the Hand Hollow Conservation Area; a large conservation area with ponds, trails, and a lake.  In the title I say “a glimpse” because our hike was cut short by the very strong and cold wind on the day of our visit.  It was just not conducive to a small child. No worries! We shall return!
