The Black Forest
Located in Europe, the Black Forest (Baden-Württemberg, Germany) spans roughly 6,009 square kilometers. It extends northeastward along the upper Rhine River, reaching the town of Durlach. The geology of the Black Forest is notable for comprising three main types of rock; the majority consists of granite highlands, while the northern region is characterized by sandstone. A narrow strip of fertile limestone, the most productive component, borders the southern edge of the forest. The area is also distinguished by its extensive coverage of spruce trees, which thrive throughout much of this picturesque region.
