Black Forest, Gsmunv, I
August 27tb, 1889. /
Dear N e ws—Lea vJcg Sehaffha nsen
we take the celebrated route known
aa the Black Forest Line, shortening
the road very much to Heidelberg
by tunneling the mountainous re¬
gion of the Forest, which begins
near the beautiful capital of the
grand-duchy of Baden, in a series of
elongated and rounded heights
clothed with fir trees and standing
out sharply against the horizon, and
gradually increasing until they reach
their termination near the upper
Danube river. Between Bingen and
Imraendingen the railway runs
through beautiful forests and rug¬
ged and separated rocks, and we
pass through a tunnel 948 yards in
length and descend to the valley
through picturesque woodlands. The
rocks of the Jura assume the quaint¬
est forms; in places the mountain
sides appear as though built of
masonry, and in others as if loose
slabs were piled one upon another.
Its surface is covered with mosses,
and the roots of the trees in same
places are Been projecting from the
stones. Lofty embankments, huge
masses of masonry and other artifl-
rial works follow each other in rapid
succession, and in an inviting little
glade we see the charming little
chapel of St. Martias.
Soon, the valley becomes more ani¬
mated, and the lofty spire of a
church warns us that we are ap¬
proaching the village of Engen, once
celebrated for its old convent of St.
Wolfgang, built m 1333, a refuge
for maidens the course of whose love
bad been more than ordinarily tur¬
bulent. Near the village of Mnlhau-
sen runs the base .of the perpendicu¬
lar Magdeberg, which owes its name
to St. Ursula,the leader of the Eleven
Thousand Virgins, and who built a
chapel on this summit.
From Immendingen to Villengen
our train stops at many little vil¬
lages. The broad valley is occupied
partly by meadows, and partly by
marshy expanses, through which the
rivers Brigach and Danube slowly
meander. The river banks are
clothed with reeds and bulrushes,
and dotted here and thereat the
iwiftest vith places by sa w or flour mills,
willows and alders scattered
about and giving the district a poeti¬
cal and melancholy character. To
pass when through the the Baar at eventide,
the ripening setting sun is shining on
glittering cornfields, and the Dan¬
ube as the sunbeams catch
its and ripple, pensive, makes and the traveller the earnest
at same time
soothes and tranquiiises the mind.
We stop for a while at the interest¬
ing town of Douaneschingin,noted for
having been the residence of the
Princes of Fuerstenberg. The palace
is thrown open at times to the pub¬
lic. The old trees are magnificent
and the grounds have many beauti¬

walks grounds and are traversed by shady
adorned with statues of
marble. The hot houses contain a
fine collection of plants. The inter¬
ior arrangements of, the palace are
magnificent, objects and the visitor is shown
many whose intrinsic value
is, increased by the fact that they
once belonged to very distingnished
personages. the Danube
The source of river is
also near this place. It rises in the
neighborhood from the of the palace, welling
up flood, and ground invited in a swallow perfect
we are to
a draught of the water from a hand¬
some bronze cup chained to the rail¬
ing. The course of a river appeals
to us very strongly when we stand
at its source, for as we stand here
and watch the waters bubbling up
from the interior of the earth, and
read the words chiseled in the stone
enclosure, “Above thS* sea 2224 feet,
to the sea 1763 miles,” the most var¬
ied scenes present themselves to our
imagination. How varied are the
countries and their ’’inhabitants
along the banks of this mighty
stream, and bow interesting the
spot-becomes when going back in
thought that we have call to been mind enacted the many
scenes the banks of the Danube in centuries upon
past At I the ancient village of Pfohren
we see a gloomy old structure with¬
out windows and with ruined towers,
called the Enten-Schloss, where in
1507 Emperor MaximUlian twice
took up his lodgings, aud a letter
dated October 23rd, 1510, to the
Arch-dnchess Margaret was written
here. Beyond the Immendingin Danube and the ascends rail¬
the way heights crosses of the Jam, and it is at
that place that we bid adieu to the
“Beautiful blue Danube.” At Vil-
lingen the open valley is terminated
on all sides by undulating hills, which
in their turn are bounded by wooded
mountains that afford the a splendid
view of the country. In western
part of the town stands an old
church in Romanesque and Gothic
style. The balustrades of the pulpit
date from the 14th century, and de¬
pict scenes from the life of Christ,
arranged so that tbe centre is
adorned with the Crucifixion. To
one of tbe columns several cannon
balls are attached. In the ancient sacristy
are valuable specimen of art,

the Moravian Brethren. The road
to it leads through a magnificent

and parties in
the management of public affairs are
never known, that none of its inhabi¬
tants ever make their appearance in

a tribute to the Moravian Brethren.
The cemetery lies just on the borders
of the forest and is surrounded by
shade magnificent trees, the which throw their
upon graves that are
all covered with stone slabs and
surrounded by flowers. All
the tombs are all alike and
the stones bear no inscription except
the name of the departed and his
place of birth. The Brethren keep
their eyes upon the Black Forest, for
its silence . and solemnity possess
great attractions for them. While
we admire these holy men for living
as their conscience dictates, we do
not feel that we would be willing to
pass our lives amongst them, and so
train,which we hurry to catch our departing
is to bear us from village
into to village, the from town to town, out

It is very

from these words! Some wno have
never seen it picture to themselves a

the name to the district extend for
miles along the railroad, giving a re¬

stores berries in the
autumn. Some say that critic blood
flows in the veins of its inhabitants,
and that they are of a different race
from their neighbors, as well as differ¬
ent in their habits «t flfcy but the
blood must have been largely diluted
frith the German, forthey ali seem of
that race to a stranger. It was at
a very early date that the people of
the Black Forest began to try their
skill upon the material of which they
had such an inexhaustible supply at
their doors,—the wood of the flrtree.
They soon became expert wood carv¬
ers and turners, and finally became
clock makers, and dow clock sellers

place from time that
brethren of St, Benedict cleared the
site for their monastery, and the
time when the first locomotive sped
past tbe now vanished convent; for
of the ancient buildings but faint
traces now remain. St. Georgen is
today one of the chief manufacturing
villages of the Black Forest and one
of After its highest leaving points. St. Georgen,

to the largest tunnel in the forest,
which is 1855 which yards long, after pass¬
ing through we find ourselves
at the station of Sommeran, the the cul¬

of ascent than the railroad which
penetrates tbe mountains under¬

ly that the roof water finds falling its from one
side of its way to the
Danube and the Black Sea, while the
rain drops which trickle down the
other side make their way to the
Rhine and the German Ocean. The
meadows are devoid of trees or even
shrubs and bushes, while the weather
beaten look of the houses indicate
that they a re often exposed to severe
rain and snow storms.

From Tribnrg to Haneaeh the
valley of the Gutach affords some of
the finest scenery of the Black Forest.
The meadows are verdant, the fruit
trees are are luxuriant, and the farm
buildings are all very picturesque.
Sometimes the houses stand under
the shelter of tall rocks, and every
where a love of order and cleanliness
is apparent. The valley is a favorite
resort for painters from all parts of
Germany, tired peasant and the girls picturesquely often at¬

pierce the mountains by a series of
tunnels. Now we reach the Horn-
berg Viaduct, SOfeet supported high, and by bridging massive
the stone mouth piers of the valley Reichenbacb,
which is a fitting witness of the enter¬
prising spiritdf the 18th century.
Now we make the iast part of our
trio and arrive Black at Offenburg, Forest. Wepass the end
of the famous

the gates of the mediaeval castle,
which has been the scene of many his-

the French after the Thirty Years
War. We pass the towers of the an¬
cient imperial town of Gengenbach, clad
which lies at the foot of vine
hills. Its walls and gates speak to
us of bygone glory; once within
them stood a Benedictine Monastery
around which the town sprung up.
