【文章內容簡介】
nature and reconnect with myself. So, that is exactly what I did the first sunny Sunday back in the beautiful Black Forest. The Huzenbacher See is a tarn in the middle of the northern Black Forest with abundant nature surrounding it. Approaching it after a good hour walk, I saw fascinating blue dragonflies in quantity that attracted us by the way they flew around. They didn39。t stand still for a photo, as they landed on leaves for a split second. We were also surprised at the yellow water lilies that can be seen floating on its surface between June and July. Sitting down at one of the benches surrounding the lake for a piic was satisfying in two ways. I was aware of the world39。s beauty that gave me the energy to continue up the mountain to reach the most amazing view looking over the lake. The other was to really fill myself up in order to continue the adventure adequately, full up on some snacks and refreshing water from the well. The hike up wasn39。t as hard as expected and a good path was provided with dirty rocks and slippery stones all under the shade of the tall trees. This took about an hour and a half until reaching the beautiful view of the lake and land below. Once we had taken in the astonishing views, the walk back down took another hour or so, making the hike a 3to4hour round trip, which was well worth it! Simply being back in the Black Forest and having such pleasant hikes is definitely good for the soul and I highly remend getting yourself outside, be it in the Black Forest or anywhere outdoors.

It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack39。s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. So, Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. How did this place get its name? Are you sure you want to hear it? It39。s a scary story, warned Jack. Of course! cried out Tom. If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn39。t have chosen this place! Ok, but don39。t say I didn39。t warn you, said Jack, and he began this tale. Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. 39。You are clearing too much land,39。 warned one old man. 39。The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. 39。 39。Silly fool,39。 said Dennis to himself. 39。If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I39。ll bee wealthier. He39。s just jealous!39。 Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants. What happened? Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire. The land hit back—just as the old man warned, Jack shrugged. Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found. What a stupid story, laughed
