In-Depth Information
Rottweil ( www.narrenzunft.rottweil.de ) At Monday's 8am Narrensprung , thousands of jester-like
Narros in baroque masques ring through Baden-Württemberg's oldest town. Look out for the devil-
like Federhannes and the Guller riding a cockerel.
Schramberg ( www.narrenzunft-schramberg.de ) Protagonists include the hoorige Katz (hairy cat)
and the hopping Hans .
Elzach ( www.schuttig.com ) Trallaho! Wearing a hand-carved mask and a tricorn hat adorned with
snail shells, Schuttige dash through Elzach's streets cracking Saublodere (pig bladders) - dodge
them unless you wish for many children! Sunday's torchlit parade and Shrove Tuesday's afternoon
Schuttigumzug are the must-sees.
Unterkirnach
07721 / POP 2730
Nestled among velvety green hills, low-key Unterkirnach appeals to families and out-
doorsy types. Kids can slide and climb to their heart's content at the all-weather Spielsch-
eune (Schlossbergweg 4; admission €4; 1-7pm Mon-Fri, 11am-7pm Sat & Sun) , or
toddle uphill to the farm to meet inquisitive goats and Highland cattle (feeding time is
3pm). In summer, the village is a great starting point for forest hikes , combed with
130km of marked walking trails, while in winter there are 50km of Loipen ( cross-coun-
try ski tracks ) and some terrific slopes to sledge.
Picturesquely perched above Unterkirnach, Ackerloch Grillschopf
( www.ackerloch.de ; Unteres Ackerloch; light meals €4-11; 11.30am-midnight, closed
Tue) is a rickety barn, brimming with rustic warmth in winter and with a beer garden
overlooking a broad valley in summer. Occasionally there is a suckling pig roasting on the
spit and you can grill your own steaks and sausages on the barbecue.
Bus 61 runs roughly hourly between Unterkirnach and Villingen (€3, 18 minutes).
