is paid for an extra horse up the Höllensteig. The country which opens out beyond is called HimmelreichKingdom of Heaven; but has no claim to the name except its elevation in contradistinction to the Höllenthal below. At the top the road divides into 2 branches; that on the 1. goes to Donaueschingen: we continue to follow the shortest and most direct. A small lake, called Titisee (Inn, Rössle), is passed on the rt., and another equally steep hill succeeds, which must be surmounted before reaching 13 Lenzkirch.-Inns: Post, decent; Cheval Blanc, good. Here many wooden clocks, for which the Black Forest is famed, are made: one may be bought for 4 fl. 2 Bondorf. This village was burnt down in 1827. [About 18 m. from this, and the same from Stühlingen, lies the magnificent Benedictine Abbey of St. Blaize, now sequestrated, and turned into a factory, where spinning-jennies and fire-arms are made. The Church, built by Ixnard 1768-80, is a rotunda of somewhat larger dimensions than the Pantheon at Rome. On the dissolution of the monastery the monks removed into Carinthia, taking with them the bones of some ancestors of the house of Habsburg, who had been buried in their abbey.] At the summit of the ascent which the road makes in this stage the Lake of Constance may be descried in clear weather. Near the end of this stage is the castle of Hohenlupfen, belonging to Prince Fürstenberg, but inhabited only by a peasant. It occupies a most commanding position on the brow of a hill, at whose foot lies 2 Stühlingen. Inns: Post and Hirsch. A little further on the Wutach, a small stream, is crossed, which forms the boundary of Switzerland. 2 Schaffhausen.-Inns: Couronne; Weber's Inn at the Falls 2 m. from the town. (In the HANDBOOK FOR SWITZERLAND.) The 1.-hand road, leading out of the Höllenthal, conducts from Steig to 1 post-Neustadt (Inn, Post; good), a town of 1500 Inhab., on the Wutach. Here and in the neighbourhood are manufactured numbers of the wooden clocks for which the Black Forest is famous. The inhabitants, an industrious race, employ themselves also in polishing garnets and crystals, as well as in rearing singing birds. A very excellent cheese, sold as Swiss, is produced in this district. 14 post-Löppingen;-thence by 14 Donaueschingen (Rte. 108) to Schaffhausen. ROUTE 110. HEIDELBERG TO WÜRZBURG. 18 Germ. m. = 85 Eng. m. Eilwägen daily, in about 15 hrs. The road is very well kept, but hilly and badly engineered. It may be posted in a day and a half. A Lohnkutscher requires nearly 2 days, and charges (at Würzburg) 20 to 22 florins, besides trinkgeld. Unfortunately there is no good sleeping-place half way. Mosbach is the best, but the distance thence to Würzburg is too great for a single day's journey with the same horses, except in the height of summer. There is nothing of particular interest on the way except the scenery within a few stages of Heidelberg. It is a charming drive along the Neckar to Neckar-Gemünd, where the road crosses the river and ascends to 2 Wiesbach. 2 Aglasterhausen. 2 Mosbach (several Inns, which appear respectable), the most considerable town on the road, prettily situated on a tributary of the Neckar. Here is a fine large church. 2 Ober-Schefflenz.-Inn, Post; bad. 2 Buchen. 2 Hardheim.-Inn, zum Ochsen. 2 Bischofsheim.-Inn, Badenscher Hof. "The Bavarian frontier (§ 76) is crossed within about 6 m. of Würzburg. A fine view is obtained of the town in approaching it. It bears some resemblance to Prague, though very inferior."-Pr.
