The Northern & Central Black Forest Nature Park

Given the fact that Rastatt Rural District truly is a region of unmatched natural beauty, it’s no wonder that a section of one of Germany’s largest ‘Naturparks’ – a designated area of outstanding natural beauty – can be found within the district’s borders. This protected area was created in order to preserve the characteristic landscapes of the Black Forest, whilst providing both locals and visitors the opportunity to enjoy them without impacting on the local environment in a negative way. It is the perfect place for anyone who wishes to experience nature in its purest form. Those who prefer not to go explore on their own can take part in guided walks led by experienced Black Forest guides. And at the end of a day in open air you can treat yourself to some local culinary delights in one of the many restaurants or cafes within the ‘Naturpark’. Alternatively, you can taste local Black Forest produce at one of the many ‘Naturpark’ markets, culinary festivals, or the farmyard brunch events.
