Germany, Black Forest, Todtnauberg, the road to the small mountain village with approximately eight hundred inhabitants, located at 1021 mtr over sea level in a valley towards the sunny southern side, a winter/ski as well as summer resort, near the 1493 mtr high Feldberg, the highest hill of Germanys highlands. First mentioned in documents in the 12th century, agriculture & a mining industry was the most important sources of income. 1870 the first tourists spotted the small village as a “climatic health resort”.

 

2000 years ago, the Romans moved north from what is now Italy to expand their empire.

The Romans named the large, contiguous forest area "Silva Nigra" because from a distance it looked like a huge, impenetrable, terrifying black forest.

The name "Schwarzwald" / "Black Forest" was first mentioned in the year 868.
