The most important destination in the Schwarzwald is called, interestingly, Titisee, which is a medium-sized lake with associated tourist village ( Titisee-Neustadt) and hotels, with very nice views and generally very relaxed and healthy activities. There is a large high-tech light engineering industry in the region stemming from the silver-mining and watchmaking days. The region is famous for its cuckoo clocks, watchmaking, skiing and hiking.
The region managed by the Black Forest Tourism Board extends beyond the mountains and includes attractions like the Europa-Park and the Kaiserstuhl hills in the Upper Rhine Plain as well as the surrounding cities. The Black Forest is a mountainous terrain at about 200–1,500 m (660–4,920 ft) above sea level, the highest point being the Feldberg (the field mountain) at 1,493 m (4,898 ft). Better to head south to the Alps if you are a serious skier or boarder.
There are a few skiing resorts as well offering average but crowded conditions. While not particularly high, the mountains offer a wonderful place to go hiking or mountain biking. This ancient forest is famous for its legends and the black fir trees that dot the landscape. The Vogtsbauernhof, a typical farm house of the region, in the Black Forest Open Air Museum
