Day 14: June 20

On June 20th, we went on a hike in the Black Forest. The views were beautiful. The hike wasn't very long, and it was the perfect weather outside, too. The trees were very tall and it was very shaded on the walk. The houses within the Black Forest all had very steep roofs to allow snow to slide off in the winter. The Black Forest area experiences harsh winters, so those roofs are helpful. We also saw some cows and sheep in peoples' yards. On one of the lookouts from the hike, you could see all the houses below. It was beautiful. 

After the hike we went to a museum that showed old houses of the Black Forest. Many of the houses within the museum were the original houses from hundreds of years ago. The house designs were different depending on where in the Black Forest the houses were from. Within the museum, there were also a lot of animals. Later in the tour, we made butter and ate it with some bread. After the museum, we went and got ice cream. Finally we went back to the school and went back home.
