A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
More green than black despite its name, the Black Forest is a star that just keeps on rising when it comes to eco-friendly initiatives, sustainable travel, and conservation. With a new biosphere reserve, cities shining with solar power, and mile upon spirit-lifting mile of diligently marked hiking and e-biking trails, this region has swiftly become one to watch.
Plain old water might be your go-to beverage of choice on a hike, but not in Germany’s Black Forest. On some special trails, you’ll never go thirsty, thanks to the bottles of locally made schnapps hiding around every turn.
Our first day in Germany was one filled with lots of excitement! See mere 48 hours before, we weren’t even sure we’d be able to make it to Germany. After weeks of being stuck at home, unable to travel, we didn’t take this opportunity lightly at all. Our destination this time would be the Black Forest. We actually flew into Stuttgart, but after our previous trip to Stuttgart (link here) – we decided to skip Stuttgart on this trip and go straight to the Black Forest.
