Germany’s Black Forest

Germany’s Black Forest is a stunning region filled with thick trees, rolling hills, and peaceful villages. It stretches over 160 kilometres in the southwest of the country and is one of the most famous forests in Europe. The name Black Forestcomes from its deep, dark woods, where the tall fir and pine trees grow so close together that little sunlight reaches the ground. Long ago, travellers thought the forest looked almost black, giving it a name that has lasted for centuries.

Despite its name, the Black Forest is full of colour and life. There are sparkling lakes, waterfalls, and winding trails perfect for walking and cycling. The area is known for its handmade cuckoo clocks, cosy wooden houses, and delicious Black Forest gateau—a rich chocolate and cherry cake that people around the world love. Visitors can take a boat ride on Lake Titisee, relax in the hot springs of Baden-Baden, or explore the fairy-tale towns that inspired stories like Hansel and Gretel. Whether you want adventure, history, or just a slice of cake, the Black Forest is a place that feels magical at every turn.
