Painting of a goods train, pulled by a steam locomotive, on a summer day in the Black Forest.
The Black Forest is a densely forested mountainous region in south-west Germany, in the states of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate. It is known for its dense forests, picturesque villages, clockmaking crafts and beautiful hiking trails. The area is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers and tourists who enjoy the picturesque beauty and traditional culture of the Black Forest.
The Black Forest has a rich history with steam traction, especially in connection with the development of railways in the area. Historically, steam locomotives were used for both freight and passenger transport through the hilly and forested environment of the Black Forest.
Today, some historic steam trains still operate in the Black Forest, albeit mainly for tourist purposes. Tourist railway lines, such as the Wutachtalbahn and the Sauschwänzlebahn, offer visitors the opportunity to take a ride on historic steam trains through the beautiful landscape of the Black Forest. These rides are often a popular attraction for both locals and tourists interested in the history of the railways and the Black Forest.
