Hear about travel to Germany’s Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg as the Amateur Traveler talks to Matt Kepnes (Nomadic Matt) about his visit to the hills and woods of southwest Germany.

Why should you go to the Black Forest?

Matt says, "You'll find incredible hiking, lots of lakes, waterfalls, and cute little quintessential German towns with beautiful architecture. There are also a lot of hot springs around the Baden Baden area. Plus, there's just great food and I just really loved the welcoming vibe of the people."

Matt’s Suggested Black Forest Itinerary:

Day 1–2: Heidelberg

Why go: It is a historic university town with vibrant nightlife, a beautiful old town, castle ruins, and great food.
Highlights:
Heidelberg Castle (ruins)
Perimeter hiking trails and viewpoints

Contemporary art museum
Nightlife: comedy shows and lively bars
Tip: Hike up from the city center for great views; look for printed maps with trail info.
