The best areas to rent a home in the Black ForestThe Black Forest is currently one of the main green lungs in central Europe. In particular, it encompasses a large number of German cities, the country through which most of its area passes. An impressive mountain range in which, at present, you can find rural holiday homes of all kinds, both rentals and houses, most of them characterised by high ceilings, by having a large number of rooms and plots with gardens and groves. Undoubtedly, Dreiländereck, Freiburg and Freudenstadt are some of the most suitable enclaves to find them, since they are the cities that are closer to the natural places and that offer more services for the tourist. However, if you want to be in contact with nature all the time, you will also find numerous houses in the small villages that dot this beautiful space.

In fact, it has the 'Silver Star', that is, the largest steel roller coaster in Europe. Of course, the great variety of excursions that can be made through the area to its fairytale forests will also make the little ones have a great time, playing and running among the trees. Forests full of legends of fairies, witches and mysterious beasts that served as the setting for many of the Grimm brothers' stories. A great opportunity for them to enjoy contact with nature, something that cannot be done so often when living in a big city.
The Black Forest for those who want to relaxThe Black Forest is also an ideal place to unwind, relax and forget about daily worries. The Romans already discovered the curative and medicinal properties of the waters of this territory and, nowadays, they are one of the main attractions for many tourists.

Top 5 Recommendations in the Black Forest
It's worth looking for rentals in Durbach and spending at least one night in this beautiful Black Forest village to watch the sunset from its famous vineyards. In this sense, you can always take the opportunity to have a glass of wine in any of the typical restaurants that can be found there.
2. Take a 'weissbier' in GengenbachGengenbach, considered the most beautiful village in Germany, has a multitude of houses, towers and churches of a very unique beauty. However, many know this enclave for being the place where the first wheat beer in history was brewed, which can still be tasted. This traditional recipe is very smooth, has a sweet touch and is quite cloudy. Careful, it's served in half-litre glasses.
3. Visit the Gothic Tower of FreiburgFreiburg is considered the gateway to the Black Forest. Flooded with Erasmus students, the atmosphere of its streets is magnificent. But, if the city has a true emblem, that is the Gothic tower of its cathedral, which reaches 120 metres high.
4. Make a route to Todtnau WaterfallBy car, by train or even on foot. The Todtnau Waterfall, besides being spectacular, is tremendously accessible for all types of transport systems, so it will be very easy for you to go and come back in a single morning. If you go in summer, take advantage of the road to refresh yourself in one of the many pools there are.
5. Taste the delicious delicacies of the local cuisineAnother attraction of the Black Forest is its cuisine. Not in vain is the German region with the most Michelin stars. Among the most exquisite typical dishes of the region are river trout, smoked pork shoulder, smoked ham and bitter cabbage. All this is always accompanied by a refreshing beer. Although in the Baden area you will also find many wineries where you can taste excellent wines. Among the most outstanding restaurants, we recommend the Der Kleine Prinz in Baden and the Kühler Krug in Freiburg.
