Kitsch Galore at Titisee

March 18, 2015



I have to admit that the Titisee is not the typical place I would put on my bucket list and it was rather by chance that we ended up there for some days. In high season I would rather not like to go there, since it really is a very touristic spot with all the clichés that make most of us run away from such places... But since it was off-season, most of the happy plastic shops closed and we were almost alone in town. So we could embrace all the beautiful nature and the advantages of a vacated touristic place. The Titisee is a picturesque lake surrounded by the Black Forest and directly on its shores lies a little town that shares its name with the lake. When you are making your way around the lake on one of the old, baulky pedalos, gently dandled by the water, surrounded by the emerald green mountains and the majestic trees, the old white chapel in the distance... you feel transported directly into a vintage postcard or a very old and very cheesy movie. :)

  1. What beautiful photos. Looks like a great place for a wander around. My mom was born in Baden Baden and her parents brought back a clock like your first photo when they came back to Canada. It fell off the wall once and I have spent soooo long trying to get it back together but something else keep breaking off! I don't think it will be functional again :(
