Nature Park
The Black Forest is one of the most beautiful regions of Germany and a world-renowned holiday destination. In December 2000, we founded the Black Forest Nature Park Central/North with the aim of conserving and developing this region in a sustainable way. It is very important to us that the founding of this Nature park was not imposed on the region by a higher authority, but that we, the inhabitants and political decision-makers of the region, took the initiative ourselves. This approach has set the standard for our nature park from the start.
The nature park has the legal structure of an incorporated society and is headed by a member of the regional forestry commission. The members of the society are the 105 local communities situated within the nature park, 7 rural district authorities and 2 town councils as well as a whole range of associations and individuals. For more information about the rules of our society or to become a member of the society, please contact our Seebach office.
In December 2003, the German federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg acted on the regional initiative and officially designated the nature park a major conservation area. With an area of 926,625 acres (375,000 hectares) the Black Forest Nature Park Centre/North is the largest of its kind in Germany and has approximately 700,000 inhabitants.

But our nature park between the rivers Rhine and Neckar is special not only because of its size: Impressive landscapes, extensive forests, rock formations, deep canyons, clear springs, lakes, gushing rivers, beautiful meadows and peaceful pastures are all there for you to discover. Our nature park is a landscape full of vitality – and a world-renowned tourist area with a long tradition. Famous healing springs, mineral waters and spas, a unique spectrum of recreational facilities and an up-to-date tourist infrastructure await you.
I cordially invite and welcome you to our nature park.
Yours sincerely
