“The Black Forest National Park has been in existence since January 1, 2014 – as Baden-Württemberg’s first and so far only national park. This was appropriately celebrated with a large opening party with 10,000 guests in May 2014. This was preceded by a discussion process lasting around two years, in which the region was also extensively involved. The consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) examined the potential and effects of a national park in the northern Black Forest. You can download a short version of the report here (if you are interested in the long version, please contact the National Park Center at Ruhestein).”
