The Black Forest

The holiday region of the Black Forest which expands between Basel and Karlsruhe, the Rhine and Nagoldtal covers an area of a good 11,400 quadratic kilometres. Nearly half of it is formed of the highest point of the low mountain range: The Black Forest. A varied landscape is one of the region’s strong points. There are more than 70 peaks over 1000 metres, clear mountain lakes, gently rolling valleys, gorges, wide valleys, vineyards on the western perimeter, and hilly landscapes in the East. This is the ideal place to take an extensive hike and take in the aromatic forest and mountain air or take a relaxing bike ride through fields and vineyards, or to bike on the Black Forest mountain peaks.

You can find more information on holiday offers in the South West at www.blackforest-tourism.com
