Pruneau - i'm planning to drive through the black forest and stay overnight on my way home from hols this summer - could  you point me at some interesting areas to stay or visit (preferably not bigger towns)? would be most grateful if you could

[Pruneau]

There is only one big town:
Freiburg im Breisgau.  It's a wonderful place though.
Three smaller very nice towns:
Freudenstadt (huge townsquare with a brewery on it where you can eat Flaemmenkuechen with black beer)
Baden-Baden (lovely little town with a great mix of old chic and modern squares, parks and lots of green)
Calw: town on the slope of a hill, excellent cuisine

Other nice spots:
Titisee Altstadt: Very touristic, but in an old-fashioned way: a nice swimming lake, nice wine pubs, kitsch stores and an area lovely to drive around in
Mummelsee: Up north, mountain lake with a nice pub, no swimming here though, boating, walking
Schaffhausen am Rhein: technically not Black Forest: 25 km south in Switzerland: magnificent waterfall along the Rhine.  Must see.
Triberg waterfall: nice very long waterfall you can walk alongside of
Kaiserstuhl: the local wine area

You can stay just about everywhere: most farms have guest rooms, Gaestezimmer, and whenever we stay there we see a lot of impromtu lodging: there is always a room available somewhere, tourism has been much reduced lately with exotic destinations becoming so commonplace.  A very nice road to follow south to north is the Schwarzwaldstrasse, a road meandering through the forest along the tops of the hills.  Other area's that are nice: Simonswaldertal (best Black Forest Cake), Waldkirch.

3: Scotland

[capthugeca]

There seems to be a theme here.

1. Alilkes on the Island of Zakynthos
2. Kefalonia.
3. Would be another Greek Island but have only been to the above two so I'll have to plump for India (haven't been there either but would love to visit).
