Mystical. How often does this word come up when talking about the Southern Black Forest? Of course, there are dark woods. But there are also these bright heights that open up the view. The Southern Black Forest, one of Germany's most popular holiday regions, is a (heartfelt) home for many people, including Cornelia Tomaschko. She embarks on a quest to uncover the special qualities that captivate not only locals but also visitors. She shares her experiences with Alemannic customs, the Black Forest itself, its attitude towards ecology, art, and design, and of course, she also explores the significance of food for a deep sense of connection. This gives us a genuine insight into the lifestyle surrounding the Black Forest.
