Places in Germany
In association with:
Home of the cuckoo clock, the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) gets its name from its dark, slightly sinister canopy of evergreens: this is where Hansel and Gretel encountered their wicked witch. Twenty minutes walk from populated spots will put you in quiet countryside dotted with traditional farmhouses and amiable dairy cows.
The Black Forest is roughly triangular in shape, about 160km (99mi) long and 50km (31mi) wide. Baden-Baden, Freudenstadt, Titisee and Freiburg act as convenient information posts for excursions. Even smaller towns in the area generally have tourist offices.
