The Black Forest
The black forest is a dense and enchanting pine forest that comes to life during winter filling the atmosphere of Schwarzwald, Germany with winter magic. Commonly known as winter wonderland, the Black Forest is quite the opposite of its name, as it turns snow white when temperatures drop. Snowflakes cover the pine trees, castles, lakes, and little villages in the area giving it all a layer of magic. This Christmas card town is the perfect spot for a dream winter holiday.
Take a scenic tour of Lake Titisee and Lake Schluchsee to see crystal clear waters and stunning waterfalls. Explore the Swiss towns of Schaffhausen and Stein-am-Rhein as well as historic old towns like Freiburg and Treiburg with their famous canals. Spend an afternoon in one of the many winter resorts and spa then grab a bite of the local delicacy, the Black Forest Gâteau. It doesn’t matter what you do, there’s simply never a dull moment on a winter trip to the Black Forest.
