The Black Forest is a mountainous region in the southwest corner of Germany in Baden-Württemberg state. It is bounded by the Rhine valley to the south and west and near the borders of Switzerland and France.
Germany’s Black Forest is known for its dark pine forests, picturesque villages with half-timbered houses, spa towns, and rushing waterfalls. It is home to the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales, the world’s largest cuckoo clock, and the highest non-alpine mountains.
