What is the Black Forest?

Which black forest are you talking about? Location or food?

The name Black Forest comes from the German Schwarzwald, which means "black forest". It is a famous natural scenic area in southwestern Germany. As the name suggests, it is a rolling mountainous area that is 160 kilometers long from north to south and 20-60 kilometers wide from east to west. It is densely covered with large forests. Due to the dense trees in the forest, it looks dark from a distance.

In addition to its natural scenery, the main tourism project of the Black Forest is rich in geothermal resources. Many small towns in the mountains are hot spring resorts. There are many ski resorts here in winter and it is one of the centers of winter sports in Germany.

The Black Forest in Guangyi is divided into three parts: north, south and middle.

The northern Black Forest, from Baden-Baden to Freudenstadt, is very densely forested. Along the winding Route 500, there are large virgin forests of pine and fir trees on both sides. Because the leaves are darker in color and the woods are very dense, the area looks dark green from a distance. It is dotted with small lakes, the most famous of which are Mummelsee and Wildsee.

The Central Black Forest, from Freudenstadt to Freiburg. The main attractions include the open-air museum (Freilichtmuseum), which brings together traditional-style wooden farmhouse buildings in southern Germany; and the mountain waterfall (Wasserfall) near Triberg. The drop is not very big, and it is unusually quiet because it is in the middle of the forest.

The Southern Black Forest, from Freiburg to the Swiss border. The scenery is very similar to Switzerland, with more and more grassland in the mountains. The woods are no longer connected into large areas, and the hillsides between the woods are opened up for grassland and pasture for grazing.

A specialty of the Black Forest region - the cuckoo clock.
