Day 39 - Pforzheim
It's a drab grey day. I take the colourfully painted S6 train from Bad Wildbad to Pforzheim. The artwork is by James Rizzi and a fine example of what can be done to brighten up travelling especially on such a dismal day. Flanked by Black Forest pines the train weaves its way through the scenic Enz valley following the river.
Fritz Theilmanns ‘Die Rassler’.
Pforzheim is the nearest 'city' to Bad Wildbad (40 minutes on the S-Bahn) and famous for its jewellery industry. It was almost completely destroyed in 1945 but is now once again a thriving gateway to the Black Forest. The Rassler memorial commemorates the Jewellery workers who walked into Pforzheim from out lying villages.
