Chapter 337: The Black Forest, Germany

Robin took everyone to the next attraction, which is the Black Forest in Germany, which is also very famous.

The Black Forest is located in the mountainous region of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany, because it is 160 kilometers long from north to south and 60 kilometers long from east to west.

Qu Lihua said: "We see too much reinforced concrete in big cities, all of them are modern buildings, and we rarely have the opportunity to come out to see the natural scenery, the name of this scenic spot, it sounds like a forest, but I don't understand a little, isn't the forest green? Why is it called the Black Forest?"

This question made Robin laugh, "Yes, we see that the forest is full of green trees, of course, the forest here does not mean that the trees are black, but a very chic name, not that the forest is black!"

"Hahaha......" Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "Xiaoqu thinks that the forests are all green, let's go, let's follow Robin to open his eyes, let's see what the Black Forest is!"

Qu Lihua stuck out her tongue, this was her first time in Germany, she had never been to the Black Forest before, which made everyone laugh, and she also followed Captain Xia Yuxiang with curiosity to open her eyes.

Robin also smiled, he felt that Qu Lihua was straightforward and fast-talking, this girl was not scheming, kind, had no heart, was very easy to get along with, joking with her, she was also very angry, and she was not afraid of other people's jokes.

"Miss Qu, when I first came to Germany, many tourists were like you, and they were very curious about the name Black Forest.

Qu Lihua was a little embarrassed, and said shyly: "This is my first time in Germany, and I am lonely, I'm sorry, I made you laugh!"

Robin smiled, "It's okay, it's your first time here, it's normal not to know, I'll explain it to you later, you can understand it after listening!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Robin said that this attraction is also very famous, it is a place where the natural beauty of Germany is very well preserved, it is the most attractive place in the middle mountains of Germany, it is full of towering straight cedar trees, and the forest area is also very large.

The Black Forest is the source of the Danube and Neckar rivers, and the steep and picturesque Kinzich Gorge splits the mountainside into two sections, the northern sandstone land, dense forests, high terrain and cold climate, and the southern part is low, fertile soil and a moderate climate in the valley.

This is the characteristic of the Black Forest and a tourist attraction to visit here, and the Biersbron forest area, which is dominated by heavy fir trees, is also the largest forest farm in Germany.

Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie followed Captain Xia Yuxiang and Robin, looking at each other, looking up, they were all dense woods, undulating, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance, no wonder there was a Black Forest, moist air, take a deep breath, feel that the air is very fresh, and live in a modern city, it feels different.

Robin told everyone that in order to facilitate the accommodation of tourists, hotels and guesthouses have also been established here, and even the elderly are willing to come here to live here for a long time, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and establish first-class recuperation facilities here, making it the largest recuperation center in Germany.

Take everyone to climb the mountain, which requires some physical strength, Robin and Xia Yuxiang discussed it, took some young members up the mountain, and the older members stayed in the hotel, let them rest in the hotel, and wait for everyone to go down the mountain, and then converge, arranged the members who stayed in the hotel, and after the salute, they traveled lightly, and the head of Xia Yuxiang took the young members to follow Robin up the mountain.

Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie were selected, they are both young people, have physical strength, and also like to climb mountains, everyone followed Xia Yuxiang to climb the heights, singing and laughing all the way, very happy.

At 1,493 metres above sea level, the Feldberg is the highest peak in the Black Forest, offering sweeping views of the green Rhine Plain, western Switzerland and Strasbourg Cathedral in France.

Finally climbed to the top of the mountain, Qu Lihua was very happy, she waved her hand excitedly and shouted, echoes echoed in the valley, Meng Wenjie picked up the camera and helped her grab a few close-up shots to record the joy of this moment.

Robin is also very happy, he usually rarely climbs mountains, everyone works in the big city, goes to work, gets off work, lives at two points and one line, occasionally travels, China to Germany, running in two places, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to visit everywhere with a delegation.

In the natural environment, the mood is relaxed, and he also yelled at the valley a few times, very happy.

Robin began to explain that the Black Forest is a tourist attraction in Germany, part of which is an economic forest, and the reason why people call it the "Black Forest" is because the forest in the forest area on the mountain is dense, and it looks black and oppressive from a distance.

However, in the last century, the glass industry had a huge demand for wood, and together with agricultural development, the entire Black Forest region was only about 10 percent forest cover in Roman times, until people began to focus on environmental protection, and the forest ratio was restored to about 60 percent.

The black forest is divided into three parts: the northern black forest, the central black forest and the southern black forest according to the density of the forest.

The northern Black Forest, from Baden to Freudenstadt, is the most dense, with a large area of primeval forest composed of pine and fir trees, because the leaves are dark and the woods are densely distributed, showing a heavy dark green color from a distance, and there are some small lakes in the forest, the scenery is still good, all of which are pure and natural.

From Freudenstadt to Freiburg, the Central Black Forest is home to wooden farmhouse buildings in the traditional style of southern Germany, with nearby mountain waterfalls also located in the forest.

In the southern Black Forest, from Freiburg to the border between Germany and Switzerland, the woods are no longer connected into a large area, the scenery is gradually approaching Switzerland, and the meadows between the mountains gradually increase, and the slopes between the trees are opened up into meadow pastures.

Each part of the scenery is different, but it is similar, there is forest cover, which is the characteristic of this place, Robin explained to everyone, Qu Lihua stretched out her arms and took a deep breath, just like Robin introduced, here, the woods are gradually separated by the grass, and the scenery is gradually approaching the Swiss style.

Standing on the highest peak in the Black Forest, Feldberg, you won't see the mountains at all, but the beautiful Rhine Plains, the fresh and beautiful scenery of western Switzerland and the magnificent Strasbourg Cathedral in France.

The exotic scenery, different from Qu Lihua's familiar domestic scenery, still brings a sense of freshness, she looked at the grassland and lake in the distance, she was very happy, she took off her straw hat, waved it, and greeted the side of the mountain, very happy.
