[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 734770, member: 1963"] Both in Germany, the Giessenerstadtforst, a first growth beechwood in the foothills of the Rhoenring in Sudhessen. Looked like how I imagine Lothlorien (JRR Tolkein, one of the Elven lands) would look. A shimmering golden cathedral of leaves in Autumn. The other Wasserkueppe, and the surrounding mountains near Wildflecken, Bavaria. First couple of times I went hiking there, I got very dizzy and disoriented because no matter where I looked, there was NO level ground to be seen. (Altitude didn't help, either...when you go from 600 ft above sea level to 5000 feet above sea level, you notice the difference.) I've been to most of Allied Europe (I was in Germany during the cold war and for about 2.5 yrs after the Wall came down), and I saw many beautiful and inspiring places, but Those two places are ones I hold in my heart [/QUOTE]
