It’s a university town, so students add their youthful vibe to its character. It’s built on thermal springs and scenically set in a wooded valley.įirst of all, there’s Freiburg, known as the “Jewel of the Black Forest.” Freiburg, lively and sunny, definitely deserves this lovely title.

Baden-Baden is also famous as a spa town. One of the most popular destinations is Titisee, a spa town with a small, pretty lake.

Many small, touristy towns are situated within the Black Forest. There are lots of traditional farmhouses and cows walking gracefully on the green grass. Charming valleys, creeks, and rivers come in the package. The region’s very rural and a big part of it is dominated by woods. Schwarzwaldhochstraße (the Black Forest High Road) is a beautiful route to drive along. The last option is the most convenient since you can, later on, use the car to move around the region. From there catch a bus/train to Baden-Baden, Offenburg or Freiburg. You can fly to Karlsruhe, Stuttgart or Frankfurt in Germany, Strasbourg in France, or Basel and Zurich in Switzerland. There are several airports located relatively close to Schwarzwald. Nevertheless, Feldberg’s the highest German mountain outside of the Alps, and it offers lovely panoramic views. The highest one, Feldberg, is 4,898 feet tall. The mountains of Black Forest aren’t really sky-high. The region’s 99 miles long and 37 miles wide. It stretches from the lovely town of Baden-Baden to the Swiss border and, from the western and southern side, is bounded by the Valley of Rhine River. The Black Forest is located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, in the southwest corner of Germany, which is very close to Switzerland.
