About
Une région montagneuse pittoresque du sud-ouest de l'Allemagne célèbre pour ses forêts denses de conifères, ses coucous traditionnels et ses villages charmants. Les visiteurs peuvent profiter de sentiers de randonnée, de villes thermales et déguster le célèbre gâteau de la Forêt-Noire de la région.
The Black Forest is a mountain region in southwestern Germany, known for its dense evergreen woods and the quiet charm of its villages. It is a place to slow down: to walk, to look at the forest from a ridge, and to take in the small-town rhythm of the area.
What a visit offers
- Hiking trails that wind through the dense evergreen forest and across the mountain slopes.
- Traditional cuckoo clocks, long associated with the region and found in its villages and shops.
- Spa towns, where a stay can be as much about rest as about scenery.
- Black Forest cake, the region's celebrated dessert, which is well worth tasting locally.
Around the forest
The Black Forest is set in Baden-Baden's wider area, so visitors can combine time among the trees with the town's spa life and its relaxed streets. Plan for a few days if you want to move between forest walks, village visits and a long lunch, rather than rushing from one sight to the next.
Come for the walking, the scenery and the food. The forest itself is the main attraction, and the pace of the region suits those who want a gentler kind of holiday.
