Recreation
The Black Forest is one of Germany's most popular tourist destinations. The region combines breathtaking outdoor scenery with unique local customs and products. Picturesque villages, a balance of nature and culture, and plenty of hiking trails make this a wonderful place to get away from it all.
Forest Management
It is also the heart of Germany's timber and woodworking industry. In this part of Germany, forests are everything, and they are therefore diligently managed. Each year, carefully selected plots of land are cleared of trees and replanted under the watchful eye of forest rangers. The timber comes from a variety of pine tree that grows straight up without creating many branches, so the logs are well suited for making lumber. |
