My parents, brother, Paul and I took a day trip to Forchheim, which was just a 20 minute train trip from Bamberg. We walked up the hill into a huge forest that was a maze of beer kellers. I love how the Germans utilize their natural surroundings! My brother informed us that Germany (population of 82 million people) is 33% forest. During our trip we encountered several trees that were well over 400 years old. It's great to see and experience such beauty. Not only are these forest preserved, but also enjoyed daily. Why not have a beer garden (or several) in the forest? There were several mountain bikers and families enjoying their Saturday off. Along our trip we saw more bicyclists than cars. Next trip, Paul and I are going to bike!
