About Black Forest
This ancient forest is famous for its legends and the black fir trees that dot the landscape. While not particularly high, the mountains offer a wonderful place to go hiking or mountain biking. There are a few skiing resorts as well offering average but crowded conditions. Better to head south to the Alps if you are a serious skier or boarder. The Black Forest is a mountainous terrain at about200–1,500m (660–4,920ft)above sea level, the highest point being theFeldberg(thefield mountain) at1,493m (4,898ft).
