Let’s go on a very unique road to Germany, guided by a curator who has lived in Germany for 12 years!

Mark Twain, a famous novelist, traveled to the Black Forest in southwestern Germany and said this. ‘Once you enter the Black Forest, you will forget time in 10 minutes and the world in 20 minutes.’ The Black Forest, a vast forest area 10 times the size of Seoul, is called Schwarzwald or Black Forest because the trees are so dense that they block sunlight.

Freiburg, the gateway city to the Black Forest. After tasting Lange Rote, a delicacy at the always lively morning market Münstermarkt, head to Freiburger Münster, which stands tall in the middle of the market. Built over a period of 300 years from the 13th century, this cathedral is considered a masterpiece of German Gothic architecture, and its 116-meter spire is particularly impressive. Climb the medieval steeple, listen to the sound of the 800-year-old bell, and view downtown Freiburg and the Black Forest in the distance.

The Black Forest is so rich that the 330-year-old Grandfather Fir (Großvatertanne) is still living in good health. The symbol of the Black Forest, created by combining abundant wood and craftsmanship, is the ‘cuckoo clock’. Many cuckoo clocks are still produced in Triberg, the center of the cuckoo clock industry. Let’s take a look at some amazing cuckoo clocks, from a limited edition clock worth over 20 million won to a clock the size of a house that is 60 times its actual size.

In this way, the Black Forest people have maintained their own culture and traditions in deep forests and remote villages. One of them is the Tonbachtal Lighting festival, which has been going on for over 40 years in Baiersbronn. Every summer, about 50,000 candles beautifully decorate the entire village. Enjoy a fairytale-like night in the Black Forest by lighting candles with the residents.
