Guess where?

[Septentrionalis]

I cannot get any definitive clue of that and I have exhausted other methods.

[Kilo11]

To me, this seems very Bavarian. Not sure where exactly, but I would say Bavaria is a good first way to round things down.

[Septentrionalis]

I have also tried Limburg and Luxembourg and areas around there. Some look very much like it, but none matches.

[lolIsuck]

Latitude-wise it is inbetween Limburg and Luxembourg and the source of a tributary of the Rhine is in the town.

So, I am now invested in this riddle, and have been approaching it from an orienteering angle to see if that helps.

From the coloration of the trees, this shot is from early autumn, I'd say. Given that, it must also be from around midday. And that means that the road is on the south side of the village, and the town cuts into the south side of that hill. I still haven't been able to make much use of these facts, but maybe it will help others.

[Septentrionalis]

There seems to be a hilly country with lots of valleys with churches almost identical to that one west of Koblenz, but I haven't found the correct one if it is there indeed. There is some kind of highway right next so that should narrow it down a bit.

The picture was taken by me on a daytrip on the 9th of october and the road is on the east of the town. I recognize that it is not easy to see but the town has a burg.

It is indeed in the Eifel region. Not sure what definition of highway you're using, it's certainly not an Autobahn or anything with ramps to get on and off the road but it is a main road. There is something peculiar going on with the nearby Autobahn though.

[Septentrionalis]

I have looked so hard I am probably able to navigate the Eifel region with my eyes closed, but I cannot find a location like that.

After much fuss, and digging through hints, I believe I have it! The east edge of Blankenheim?

(Note that this was not a solo effort; a number of people here (myself, Sept, nhytbefgvecobeghght, Gyrosmeister, and Sir Adrian primarily, but others too) have been banging around ideas in a Discord server we are all a part of. If anyone wants to join over there too, contact Sept or myself.)

You have spelled my name wrong, Ton11.

It is indeed Blankenheim. A somewhat tough one, although I feel that it wasn't actually as tough as you made it out to be.

I think he simply collapsed on his keyboard after searching for hours.

My eight hours or so spent on this says that you should be more careful with your words, buddy boy!

Haha.

[Kilo11]

Well, this is my first time posting a prompt here, so forgive if it is either too hard or too easy. I'll give y'all a bit to think on your own before giving a hint, but feedback on the difficulty you think this is would be appreciated

I decided to look at google images of "Fern Valley" to see if I can find something similar. One of the images was yours, titled "Fern Canyon". So it's Fern Canyon, Praire Creek Redwoods state park.

[Kilo11]

Dang. I was afraid someone might just google the two first words that come to mind.

Well, I guess that was too easy. Be prepared for a picture of a random tree next time

At any rate, the Mouse Guard is now in charge. And Reepicheep demands full attention!

EDIT: I can't rep nhytbdvdsdprecko yet, so if someone would on my behalf, that would be lovely.

[nhytgbvfeco2]

I feel like the ferns and it being shaped as a canyon/valley were the 2 main defining features of the picture

EDIT: I can't rep nhytbdvdsdprecko yet, so if someone would on my behalf, that would be lovely.

Can you rep nhytgbvfeco2 instead?

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Done.

[nhytgbvfeco2]

Good luck.

Edit: Thanks for the rep!

Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida?

Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida?

Heh, no, not at all. That has palm trees all over (as the name would suggest ).
