Hiking, it is said, was invented in the Black Forest - It was Philipp Bussemer from Baden-Baden who, at the end of the 19th century, opened what was probably the first tourist information centre in the Black Forest near to his haberdashery shop.
The Black Forest (Schwarzwald) stretches 200 kms/125 miles, from Karlsruhe in the north to Basle in the south. It is essentially composed of two densely wooded ranges, the Feldbergand the Grand Ballon. The Black Forest has the freshness of the woods, streams and springs, the quiet valleys with typical alpine forest starts and finishes in Freudenstadt, with its beautiful market place, glass-blowing workshop, twin northern Black Forest, this is a great place to start your holiday.
The walking route follows part of two long distance walking route – the Mittelweg and the Westweg – and takes one around the mysterious small dark lake of the Mummelsee, across meadow, mixed forest and moorland.
You will receive a warm and cordial welcome and you can enjoy some of the best food in Germany (including delicious breads and honey and jams or preserves) and drink fine beers and wines, as well as delicious fruit juices.
