General information about Black ForestAlmost every community has its own museum of local history. Many places remind you of
ancient trade of glass blowing and burning, and of course also of
rafts men who transported
huge Black Forest trees all
way to Holland. Mines open their galleries, castles their doors and visitors are welcome everywhere.
Just like a hundred years ago historic steam engines puff across viaducts and up
hills. Because old age is revered in
Black Forest. Many records are broken here.
You will find:
smallest free town of
Holy Roman Empire, Germany's largest leisure park, its highest waterfall and
area where you will find most of
Michelin stars given to restaurants all over Germany.
Somehow all roads lead to
pleasures which are essential for body and soul -
Badische Weinstraße (Baden Wine Route),
Asparagus Route and whatever all
others are called. There is probably one for
Black Forest ham, for
river trout, one for
beer brewed with spring water and one for
mineral water. But all these delicacies are served in every decent restaurant.
