Dark - black - mysterious. The myth of the wild Black Forest remains unbroken to this day. In the north, tall fir forests shape the landscape. Jungle paths wind through wild primeval forests, eerie moor lakes glow in the sunlight, waterfalls rush through deep gorges, and in winter, icy storms sweep over the peak of Hornisgrinde. With her impressive landscape descriptions, Birgit-Cathrin Duval not only reveals new and long-forgotten paths through the northern Black Forest and the new national park but also tells imaginative stories and mysterious legends from ancient times. She showcases routes to tranquil mountain lakes, picturesque castle ruins, bubbling springs and streams, lonely forests, and majestic mountain peaks. Her vivid narratives make the primal forces of nature and the essential elements of life tangible and experiential.
