The Black Forest, who hasn't heard of it? The Black Forest is a densely forested area and low mountain range in southwestern Germany, located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, on the Rhine and the French border. It is the largest low mountain range in Germany. Geologically, it is related to the Vosges Mountains, which lie on the French side of the Rhine. The highest peak of the Black Forest is the Feldberg with a height of 1493 meters above sea level. The Black Forest is the largest forest area in Germany and consists mainly of pine and spruce trees. The Black Forest is known as one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany. A small part in the north is protected as the Schwarzwald National Park. The Romans called the densely forested mountain range with its distinctive dark conifers Silva Nigra - "the Black or Dark Forest or impenetrable forest", which to them was ominous and almost impenetrable. The German word Schwarzwald was used for the first time in a document from the Swiss monastery of St. Gallen from the year 868. A well-known car route is the Schwarzwald-Hochstraße, B 500 and the Uhrenstraße. The Black Forest is known worldwide for the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.

There are also several lakes in the Black Forest, namely: Titisee, Glaswaldsee, Mummelsee, Kirnbergsee, Feldsee, Schluchsee and the Hotzenwald.
The highest peaks in the Black Forest are: Feldberg (1493 m), Seebuck (1448 m), Herzogenhorn (1415 m), Belchen (1414 m), Schauinsland (1284 m), Kandel (1243 m) and the Hornisgrinde (1164 m ).
