Dorf (near Titesee and Todtnau)

IMG_20200903_125234.jpg
The aire at Dorf is up the hill and absolutely blissful and well worthy of getting out of Todtnau area for the P and Q for the night but down to the lake and the Rodenbahl for daytime adrenalin rush.
The aire/stell was full service and I think you filled out an envelope and left your money in a box. I have noted it was 10 euros and that we couldnt get any internet.
Titesee is just another stunning lake but there are some lovely views around of it.
But the Todtnau Rodenbahl is something else.

The Todtnau Rodenbahl, 2900 metres long. 20 euros for the pair of us including lift up which you dont have to take, you can walk up there ! It was a 45 minute wait at the top with no shade so be aware, it says no photography but i had our bridge camera round my neck obviously to video it and the attendant said nothing. I would have a video of the great ride but pure incompetence has prevented that occurring. I even had to employ the brakes on a couple of occasions. If youre nearby, if you are thinking of doing it, just do it

And my comments at the time.
That luge thing we did was awesome. Those of you who have read previous comments by me know i am a tfg.
20 euros was way above my anticipated price as we have done a few before less than 7 euros for the pair of us.
It opens 0900 to 1630. Put mask on to pay having filled out cv paperwork. Parking is free but dont take the turning in town. About 400 yards up the hill towards tittisee or feldberg is an entrance to p2. That is best fir motorhomes. There is an aure next to road for 10 euros with cameras. Far better aires around for same price or some freebie stops with great views that we spotted yesterday.
Anyway there is a choice of walking up to save 10 euros. Stuff that. Chair lifts were invented for a reason. If you think you can do it try to think you can only see half way.
Get off and join queue. We joined at the 90 minute mark. It was about 45 mins from here and no shade or wind protection (no wind yesterday) so be prepared.
Wife and i go down together normally to get more speed. That would be a poor decision here if that was your motive. I dont apply brakes ever on these things.
There is no choice if you want unsoiled underwear but to apply brakes. It is fast and loads of 180 and this coil that must be 900+.
If you have a granny going slowly they hold you up so you get a decent ride. I did catch wife up as she caught ppl in front up and it was quite a nice breather tbh. You get back up "i m not going stay on round this corner" speed quite quickly.
As soon as we got off i had forgotten about the finances. Great value.

Choose the weather stay away from weekends be prepared for queue. Take camera. It says no videos but i hung our bridge camera round neck tightened straps so it would face forward and lady at top never mentioned it. Shame it didn't record. There were a few Fs and a couple of blasphemes. Wife even said she swore. Thinking about it first 400 yards was easy
