Black Forest Holidays by Rail

I n the south west corner of Germany the Black Forest is famed for its mountains, its stunning scenery, and its … cake! As home to soaring peaks, wooded valleys, and beautiful rivers, the region is a beautiful area to explore throughout the year. In the spring, summer, and autumn, hikers make the most of well-maintained trails whilst the winter snow attracts those who want to ski and snowboard. The Black Forest region is well served by Germany’s rail network, with a plethora of regional railways connecting the mountains and the valleys to nearby towns and cities including Stuttgart.
