Karlsruhe

 

Although Karlsruhe city is not strictly in the Black Forest, it is certainly a major city on the northern edge of the Black Forest and the impressive Schloss is always worth a photo. Above an archway into Karlsruhe Schlosspark gardens and below the nearby Marktplatz with fountains and a merry-go-round. The number of people around seemed to have been reduced by at least 50%, which I must say felt a whole lot more civilised than the usual hustle and bustle. Covid does have a positive side.
