Black Forest

The Romans gave the Black Forest its name: "Silva Nigra" - the black forest and the Black Forest is today one of the most romantic destinations in Germany. There are many opportunities for scenic excursions. Try, for example, "Die Schwarzwald Panoramastrasse". This stretch is 70 km long and offers countless beautiful viewpoints. In clear weather, it's actually possible to see the Alps! You can start the tour in Waldkirch (near Freiburg) and continue along steep mountain roads to St Peter's Monastery. Then on to the mountain Kandel to St. Märgen with the famous monastery church. A tour like Schwarzwald-Tälerstrasse is a beautiful romantic road in the northern Black Forest.
