The Black Forest region is a tourist destination in Germany, famous for its cuckoo clock, Black Forest cake, Black Forest ham, honey and pork knuckle, etc. Many Grimm fairy tales, such as "Snow White" and "Cinderella", take place in Black Forest region. The forest is full of scenery, and the styles of the four seasons are very different. Walking here is like walking into a fairy tale. The Black Forest area is located in the mountains of Bafu, southwest Germany. It is named because of the dense forest and the darkness from a distance. The Black Forest is the birthplace of the Danube and the Neckar. There are large and small villages and towns scattered here and there are towering cedar trees everywhere. There is the steep and picturesque Kinzig Gorge, which is 1493 meters above sea level. The Feldberg is the highest mountain in the Black Forest region. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the green Rhine Plain, the beauty of western Switzerland and the Strasbourg Cathedral in France. Those who roam the Black Forest can also see many increasingly rare industries, such as glass blowing, organ making, ironsmithing and tanning, and the watch industry here can still be regarded as a real traditional handicraft art. . Once upon a time, on cold nights every year, farmers in the mountains would stay at home and carefully carve wooden figures and utensils. Among them, the fir cuckoo clock is particularly famous. This timepiece is more distinctive because of its hand-painting. What used to be a cottage industry in the Black Forest has now grown into large and small factories, whose products are now on the international market.
