My descent into the Black Forest was marked by a distinct drop in temperature and a change in the colors of the foliage. The trees became thicker and blacker, and the ground was covered in a rich carpet of decaying leaves. I ventured deeper into the forest and found a river flowing over smooth rocks, its waters as dark as the trees around it. Further on, I stumbled upon an abandoned hut, perfectly integrated into the landscape with a thatched roof made of grass, its white walls covered in vines. The beauty of this place left me awestruck.
