Vacation in the Black Forest
The Black Forest offers among the most charming low mountain landscapes in Germany. An overnight in one of the holiday homes in the Black Forest is a memorable experience in any season. Deep, dark forests, broad meadows and murmuring brooks characterize the idyllic landscape. What’s more, traditional “Bollenhut” hats, cherry cake (“
Schwarzwald Kirschkuchen”) and cuckoo clocks have made the region in southwestern Germany world-famous. The thermal springs were already known to the Romans, and whoever books a vacation apartment in the Black Forest today in Bad Griesbach, Bad Wildbad or Bad Peterstal, can benefit from modern healthcare treatments in the many spas.
With the Black Forest High Road, the major Black Forest sights can be conveniently reached. Anyone who rents a holiday home in the Black Forest in the north of the Mittelgebirge, the low mountain range, finds great excursion possibilities to the historic towns of Nagold, Calw, famous for the salt trade and Hermann Hesse, or the climatic spa of Hirsau. Those who book a vacation house in Freudenstadt find themselves in a very popular tourist center. In the southern Black Forest one can find some of the best regional sights. Among them are the Feldberg, the highest elevation in the Black Forest, the Titisee, beloved by water sport fans, or the famous Hotzenwald, famous for its inspiring vistas. A popular hike leads through the wildly romantic Wutach Gorge. Vacationers move comfortably with the nostalgic line of the Wutach Valley Railway, called “Sauschwänzlebahn”. The winter sport fans are so numerous, they almost make the Hinterzarten slopes risky, and for a change one can visit the Black Forest Ski Museum.
