The Black Forest, in german known as "Der Schwarzwald," is located in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The Black Forest hails a few famous german exports. For instance, the delicious Black Forest cake you probably have enjoyed originated from the Black Forest. The forest contains profitable wood, to help fulfill the woodwork industry in Germany, silver and ore. This covered the profit for the forest. However, the ore and silver have slowly diminished. The famous cuckoo-clock replaced the profits since the 17th century. Traditional German hats called "Bollenhut" are now worldwide and were used only on special occasions in the past. Black Forest region is a popular vacation destination, even for Germans. The important university ton of Freiburg is also located in the Black Forest region, along with the quaint villagers that occasionally dress traditionally. Black Forest is known for its highlands, scenery, and woods.
