The Black Forest is Germany's largest national park The Black Forest with its dense forest, bright mountain tops and peaks with the most spectacular views, mysterious glacial lakes and romantic valleys is a popular destination for holidaymakers and visitors. The picture post card sights: Quaint little Black Forest farms nestled into the hills, glittering lakes, wide rolling moors and romantic gorges.

Whilst the southern Black Forest regions are home to the highest peaks in the mountain range and magnificent views as far as the Swiss Alps, the north impresses guests with its great forests and beautiful valleys. And along the Rhine the Markgräflerland, Kaiserstuhl and Ortenau provide some of the most picturesque wine landscapes on which the best wine grapes ripen. Landscapes, now mostly disappeared from western Europe, are perfectly preserved in the countryside of the Black Forest. Shaped over hundreds of years of farming, the area has taken on its unmistakable appearance as a result. It is because of this that the entire Black Forest has been protected as a national park - the biggest in the whole of Germany. To take in these unique surroundings with all the senses is certainly an unforgettable experience - and the ranger or forester guided walking tours along unspoiled nature paths are the best possibility to do exactly this. Educational pathways are a good source of local knowledge and give information about water, energy, culture and history, wildlife and land use. Many paths make nature and environment really come alive. "Animal" encounters and the impressive countryside will excite hikers and day visitors who chose to make ranger led tours of the Feldberg peak or to set off along the Lothar path on the Schliffkopf. The hiker follows a chaotic path over rocks and forest scrub through a piece of woodland that was devastated by Orkan Lothar 1999 and is now in the process of self regeneration.
