![]() I'll break this into 10 consecutive posts to try to keep it manageable. I originally posted this on, so if you're seeing it again, sorry! This information should be helpful to any new owner picking up their Porsche. I’d like to post my trip report here and share some tips if you are also planning an off-season ED, or if you plan to visit the same areas. Buying a Porsche and experiencing European Delivery have been dreams of mine for many years - at least since I first drove a Cayman in 2016 - and the experience did not disappoint. It was very steep, but the evening was still young, and the elevated views were too inviting to not at least attempt the ascent.In November I took delivery of my Cayman GTS from the factory in Zuffenhausen. Sitting there, soaking it all in (quite literally!), we noticed the tarmac zig-zagging up the hill and a wooden bridge crossing over the top of the waterfall. And it was breathtaking-all 163 meters of it! The path continued right to the base of the falls, with a metal platform that allowed us to get close enough to feel the cool spray emanating from it. Soon after setting off, the trees parted, and the cascading water came into view. But Triberg Waterfall is unlike any we’ve visited before! We started on a smooth tarmac path, which continued through the tall trees as the sound of rushing water grew closer. Carefully making my way over bumpy rocks, through mud, and across uneven ground. Usually, to reach a waterfall, I have to do some degree of off-roading in my wheelchair. Triberg is a place of extremes-home to the largest cuckoo clock, smallest cuckoo clock, and our favourite extreme of them all, the tallest waterfall in Germany! After a quick stop at a cafe to refuel on a huge (and deliciously light!) slice of famous Black Forest cake, we excitedly made our way to it. It really was an experience for all of the senses! It struck me that, although hundreds of years have passed since their conception, the architectural style really wasn’t a lot different from the modern Black Forest homes we’d seen over the past few days-only, people don’t tend to live under the same roof as their livestock anymore! Bright red flowers adorned ornate balconies, the half-hipped roofs hung low, and inside the woody scent of old fires still lingered in the rooms. This fascinating place transported us back through time, with its village of traditional, fully-furnished farmhouses dating back to the 1500s. To understand more of the Black Forest’s history, the following day we ventured out to Vogtsbauernhof-otherwise known as the Black Forest Open-Air Museum. It had been a fantastic yet long day, and once again, we were thankful to have a comfortable and familiar bed to return to. And our first taste of Germany went down a treat! We enjoyed this mouthwatering delicacy as the water gently lapped up on the shore and the sky turned from blue to pink. After all, this was definitely a place we’d want to remember.Įnticed by the scent of currywurst, we wandered down to a small hut selling it on the lakeside beach. Popping into a shop that caught our eye, we observed an entire wall of cuckoo clocks all ticking in unison and were blown away by the amount of detail in their intricate designs! Although the hand-carved creations were beautiful, we agreed that €5000 is a little over our souvenir budget and opted for a small wooden Christmas tree decoration instead. ![]() It’s not often that we fall in love with towns-much-preferring trees and birds to concrete and, well… people-but as we strolled through its high street, it captured a piece of our hearts. By late afternoon, we found ourselves in the quietly bustling spa town of Titisee, on the edge of its own glacial lake. ![]()
