| Valley in the Black Forest |
The Black Forest was one of the places to visit in Germany that I was most excited about. The Black Forest is located in SW Germany and is legendary with stories of witches, sorcerers, wizards and even werewolves. Fortunately we didn’t see any of these on our trip to the Black Forest, but we did see spectacular scenery that far exceeded my expectations.

Our goal was an 11km loop starting in Simonswald, that continued onto the Zweriback Waterfall. This was one of my favourite hikes in Germany so far with views of the tranquil Black Forest valley throughout our hike and glimpses into what farm life is like in the Black Forest. J.P. lived in the Black Forest as a child, but this was his first time hiking in the Black Forest and even he was impressed!
Even if hiking in the Black Forest is not your goal, the drive through the Black Forest in itself is rewarding and Furtwagen is a great rest stop where you check out the famed cuckoo clocks. We’re already planning our next hiking trip back to the Black Forest and perhaps even a stop at the German Clock Museum.
