Black Forest National Park – Germany’s Enchanted Wilderness

#cityplaybook #attractive Deep in southwest Germany lies the mystical and serene Black Forest National Park, a land of ancient woodlands, misty peaks, hidden waterfalls, and folklore magic. Established in 2014, this is Germany’s first national park in the Black Forest region, covering over 10,000 hectares between Baden-Baden and Freudenstadt. From dense fir and spruce forests to moss-covered trails and quiet glacial lakes like Wildsee, the park feels like stepping into a fairytale. Explore scenic hiking paths such as the Lothar Trail, which winds through areas hit by a famous 1999 storm, now reborn with vibrant biodiversity. For panoramic views, climb the Hornisgrinde, the region’s highest peak. This protected wilderness is home to lynx, red deer, woodpeckers, and countless plant species. It's a haven for hikers, cyclists, families, and those seeking both adventure and tranquility. The nearby Black Forest High Road (Schwarzwaldhochstraße) offers breathtaking drives and access to charming villages, alpine meadows, and wellness retreats. 📍 Baden-Württemberg, Germany 🕘 Open year-round 🎟️ Free entry #blackforestnationalpark #schwarzwaldmagic #germanyswilderness #cityplaybook #natureretreat #fairytaleforest #hikinggermany
