Black Forest skies: Following mountain roads to a place called "Schauinsland" - "lookintotheland". Panorama views, sun through trees, a larger horizon. And up there: peace. For all.

Standing there, I had this thought that thousands of years ago, this already was a place where people walked to, and stood, and gazed at the horizon, and thought about life. 

Up there, some steps from the trail, there's a monument, with a memorial plate:

Frieden den Lebenden / Frieden den Toten

Peace for the ones alive / Peace for the ones dead.
