Triberg, Germany


one of my favourite towns I'd been at the south of Germany- the Blackforest! It was so cold I swore it's around -10 degrees celcius here. I was all layered up.  



Thick snow everywhere!

The famous waterfall - Triberg waterfall. Spectacular view as everywhere was white and frozen. 




It's town where the cuckoo clock was originally made. Cute decorations everywhere ^_^







Last but not least, FOOD! Food in this restaurant is a must-try. The German pork knuckle and its thin crepes were amazing!









Black forest cake is a must-try as it's originally from BlackForest here. Tasted differently from asian version of blackforest cake which had been modified to cater for locals' tastebuds.  

YUMMY-licious



I'd definitely visit this town again if I ever have a chance-probably in summer =)

 Walked all the way up the castle * cough cough* cold weather again
 Reaching the entrance finally, up we go!

 breathtaking view



Apothecary Museum/ Pharmacy museum. Here is the history of the pharmacy and of dispensaries. Wide collection such as pharmacist’s office, a laboratory, manuscripts, vessels, and flasks, and over 1,000 raw drugs representing medicine from the 17th to 19th centuries. I guess pharmacists might be interested. Haha
