Best snowshoeing trails in Black Forest National Park
The Black Forest National Park was established in 2014 as Baden-Württemberg's first national park. At 10,062 hectares, it occupies a small part of the Black Forest Central/North Nature Park, which in turn is part of the Black Forest.
There is plenty of unspoiled nature here, idyllic, dark forests and landscapes free from human intervention. The wild heart of the Black Forest is home to many rare animal and plant species. With a bit of luck, you can discover some of them during your hikes along babbling brooks and in the fresh mountain and forest air.
