what is the Black Forest and why is it black?
The Black Forest is a fairly large region located in southern Germany. It is “black” because the forest growth can be so thick that the forest sometimes seems dark and black. One could easily imagine a “Hansel and Gretl getting lost here. However, the Black Forest is far from black and is a region that offers something for everyone such as the elegant city of Baden-Baden with it’s mineral baths and horse racing, the charming village of Triburg with its many clock shops and almost every type of cuckoo clock imaginable, and of course the nature with many wooded areas and beautiful lakes such as Lake Titisee.
