Caption

We spent our easter holidays on a farm nearby the source of the river Breg in the Black Forest. This source is considered to be the geographical and hydrological beginning of Europe's second largest river, the Danube. I took this panorama with quite cold feet during snowfall and half a metre deep snow. Fortunately, the next restaurant was not far away - the Kolmenhof above the source offers fresh danube trout and other fine Black Forest specialities.
