If so, you’ll undoubtedly have tucked into that dessert trolley favourite Black Forest gateau, with its rich layers of chocolate, boozy cherry jam, whipped cream and black cherries on top. For irresistible cured hams and sausages, fruit brandy and craft beers, the Black Forest takes the country’s most show-stopping gourmet experiences to delicious new levels. Pick up a rental car and drive to Schonach im Schwarzwald in the central Black Forest. The rest of the wider Black Forest, if you decide to venture farther, feels just as enchanting. The Gutach Valley to the north is another must-see – it’s the Black Forest at its most untouched and medieval.
