BLACK FOREST

The Black Forest region is one of Germany's most popular tourist destinations. Like Bavaria to its east, the Black Forest combines great outdoor scenery with unique local customs, products, and fare. It is also the heart of Germany's timber and woodworking industry that generates much of the region's economy beyond tourism.
In this part of Germany, the forest is everything, and therefore the forests are carefully 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 literally grows straight up without creating many branches, so the logs are very well suited for making lumber. Driving through, it seemed like every town had its own lumberyard and sawmill. In between would be piles upon piles of cut logs being watered down and readied for the mill. Trucks carrying huge loads of logs were commonplace.
But one cannot argue with the results -- some of the world's best-quality wood products and the world's prettiest and best-preserved forests. The mixture of economic strength and environmental responsibility is a German strength, and it provides the world with a great place to visit to get away from it all.
