Visiting Black Forest, Germany


Fairy-tale villages, thermal baths, casinos and pine- and birch-clad mountains beckon travellers to southwestern Germany's Black Forest. Scenic drives and train trips showcase the best of the area. Skiing, hiking, mountain-climbing, boating and ice-skating are popular activities. Baden-Baden's Roman-Irish baths, 19th-century concert hall, casino and fresco-adorned Pump Room are much visited. Gothic masterpiece Freiburg Cathedral and its famous Boys' Choir also draw visitors.
