People gave the bishop utmost importance, how the houses were costly within the center but as you moved out, common man found more room for his needs and a comfortable place. Marco gave us some insights into the history and culture of the church and how life progressed in those times. Nothing seemed gloomy but took us into medieval era shopping centers and archways that led straight to the center of the city. It was raining that day but the walk was so serene and calm. We all had a very classy and traditional time trying out the local food and alcohol, driving through the forest and also exploring the old alleys churches and the market place in Freiburg. I came here with my life Partner Kris and my German friend Marco. Quaint little villages and old petite little houses keep you mesmerized as you drive along. It is most famous for its cuckoo clocks, maiden dolls, the Protestant and Catholic cottages dating back to 1500s, and of course when you come to food, the Black Forest Cake and the Kirschwasser or cherry water that is an integral part of the Black Forest Cake. Triberg and Freiberg are two main cities from where BlackForest can be reached. Lot of wood from here is taken and used for house building activities and other commercial uses not only in Germany but the whole of Europe. It also has deciduous range of trees, but fir and oak can be found to a large extent. The coniferous trees here are the highlight of the forest. The Black Forest is situated in the South of Germany in the Baden Württemberg state and shares borders with Austria and Switzerland, therefore one can see tourism thriving even from these regions, and that makes it the favourite, because this is also one of the warmest regions in the south, since it is situated in a valley. The best part is the drive through this forest with meandering highways and roundabout turn ways that give you a high. Green can be seen peeping through the encircled twigs and branches of the trees.īlackforest is the place for cascades and amazing waterfalls, trees that are so thick and green that the name Blackforest or Schwarzwald is the most apt one, Grimms Fairy Tales is inspired from this region. Hues of red, orange and yellow fill the panorama. In Autumn the colours play and run over the canvas of trees and mountains, as if let free. Each season has something special in Blackforest. With farmhouses that reach the sky, situated at the backdrop of wide spread landscapes and clouds that touch the roofs of these homes, not coming here once in your life, if you visit Europe is like missing the essence and jewel of nature. If you wish to indulge yourself in the fantasies of the mountains and hear folklore from the medieval times that happened in Europe, this is the best place to be.


There is so much tradition and old medieval feel in this region that I would call it the essence of what Germans are proud of.

It wins hands down as the most visited one in Germany. Schwarzwald or Black Forest as it is widely known is the most visited and famous travelling weekend getaway in the South- Western region of Europe.
