This is the Kreuzfelsenkurve, a dramatic hairpin turn near Breitnau, nestled in the heart of Germany’s Black Forest (Schwarzwald). A road wraps gracefully around a solitary rock crowned with a cross, where autumn trees burst into flame-like colors and the forest stands in timeless silence. The scene is more than a visual marvel — it’s a metaphor. The title “Life goes on” speaks to the quiet strength of continuity. The road bends, but it doesn’t break. It adapts, it curves, it flows forward. Just like us. A tribute to resilience to the poetic truth that no matter the the curve — Life goes on.
