Black Forest Germany
If you are going to Bavaria Germany fitting in a through Black Forest Germany is an absolute must do experience for the traveller. As we entered the breathtaking region of Germany called the Black Forest, it was obvious that this would be the place we would be taking the most photographs of our entire trip through the country. The 4600 sq. mi. of the Black Forest has a variety of images and climates as well as all of the possible amenities of bygone times and is one of the standout tourist attractions in Germany. The forest got its' name from the concentration of very tall pine trees which grow so close together that the forest looks extremely dark from a distance. Each area of the forest looks as though the gardener stopped by just a few hours before. Using the term "pristine" doesn't begin to do justice to the Black Forest Germany.

Some of the buildings in the various cities are over 300 years old. We felt like we had gone back to the future with the sites we saw. The hospitality you are the recipient of as you travel Germany is really remarkable. An attempt at very broken German will bring a smile to the faces of the hotel employees and restaurant servers. It is all fun and the best part is that the fact that you don't assume everyone speaks your particular language is appreciated. Black Forest Germany is bordered by the Neckar River, Switzerland and France. We saw soaring mountains, a multitude of rivers including the Danube and the Rhine, all of which brought a sense of awe and disbelief to their individual beauty.
As you travel Germany, you must not miss the villages in the Black Forest. Freudenstadt, which is in the northern area is a step back in history. We had to have a cuckoo clock, after all, we were in Germany. The artistic craftsman that create the masterpieces are at work while you are there. Their imagination cannot be undone and watching the craftsmen at work as they fashion their clocks is one of the most enjoyable tourist attractions in Germany. Chances are the clocks that we came home with will not have a duplicate because each on is hand made. Logging is done within the Black Forest, but the laws of the country require that every tree that is removed be replanted. Strict regulations prevail on the amount of lumber that can be cut at any particular time. The German people value their natural wonder and it is easy to see that when you travel through the Baden-Wurttemberg state of Germany. The entire region of Black Forest, Germany is in Baden-Wurttemburg.
Hand carved figurines of all of the wildlife found in Black Forest Germany also appear in the various shops that line the narrow streets. Workmanship that cannot be measured or outdone will make choosing the right piece a difficult task.
We also took a tour of some of the vineyards in Black forest Germany. Foot paths travel many miles across the forest and some will take you through the middle of the vineyards. Your walk can be refreshed at the end by a glass of the wine that is made from the vineyard you just walked through. Hospitality and friendship abound and the opportunities for an exciting or relaxing vacation cannot be outdone than that which you experience when you travel Germany.
