Great trip to Titisee Germany, and Rhine Falls

Titisee is a nice little resort town in Germany, cure and touristy. Stay away from the Cafe und Brauhaus Zur Muhle, the first big restaurant on the right heading into town. The rudest anti-tourist reception a person could get. There was no one to greet us for a table, so I found a waitress to ask if I should’ve sit to be seated, she heard us speaking English, made a face, said something rude, and went to the kitchen to hide. Oddly enough, my husband speaks German. Go down the road to the Bistro Zum See. Wonderful welcoming people and food. When you go to the Rhine Falls, take the boat. Trust me, it’s fun.

We had a new tour guide, Jasmine. She was enthusiastic, took the time in the bus to give us history of the area. The Coo coo clocks were fun, the food at the lake was great and the Rhine Falls were spectacular.
Nice Experience

Pleasant experience. The narration was to the point. The driving was a bit rough and coupled with the winding roads it made some of my family a bit nauseous. The drive was a bit long and the customs at the border was closed to get a refund back on VAT. Be prepared to not get that money back when purchasing Kucku clocks which is pretty expensive.
