What to expect
Ever wanted to visit the setting of the fairy tales written by the Brothers Grimm? Legend has it they were inspired by Germany’s Black Forest (Schwarzwald) — the spectacular mountain range in Baden-Württemberg.
The Black Forest gets its name from the oppressive canopy of evergreens looming above the forest floor. Home to elaborate cuckoo clocks, striking half-timbered houses, ruined castles, roman baths and quaint towns, the Black Forest is a magical land full of cultural traditions.
