THE BLACK FOREST

Image Number 5

The Black Forest is a wooded mountain range in Baden-Württemberg, southwestern Germany. It is bordered by the Rhine valley to the west and south.  The region is almost rectangular with a length of 160 km (99 mi) and breadth of up to 60 km (37 mi). The remaining Forest is a remnant of a vast and impenetrable woodland which once covered most of Germany.
