Black Forest


Germany Week in August

The Black Forest, also known as Schwarzwald, is a well-known, forested mountain range located in the state of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern GERMANY. The Black Forest is aptly named that because of the extremely dense forests that blanket the mountain range. The highest mountain in the Black Forest mountain range is Feldberg, which towers at almost 4,900 feet (1493 meters). Nearby cities include Baden-Baden, Freiburg im Breisgau, and Offenburg. The large city of Stuttgart is approximately 45-50 miles away from the Black Forest.
