I've never associated Germany with great food. And the black forest? There is a famous cake.
The Black Forest National Park region in southwest Germany has 11 Bib Gourmand awards.
The national park is located in the center of the Black Forest.
It covers 25,000 acres and 27 towns.
The idea behind creating the park was to showcase the above average number of noteworthy restaurants in a setting that also promotes some of the destinations most appealing natural beauty.
Baiersbronn is one of the best places in the park to sample the best of the cuisine. Baiersbronn's reputation was solidified by the guide.
Only nine restaurants in all of Germany have threeMichelin Stars.
With that in mind, other restaurants in Baiersbronn have their own awards to boast about.
Restaurant 1789 and Jorg Sackmann's gourmet restaurant Schlossberg both have one star.
The Hotel Dollenberg in Bad Peterstal-Griesbach has twoMichelin stars, while the Hotel Schloss Eberstein in Gernsbach has a single star.
11 eateries in the Black Forest National Park region were awarded Bib Gourmands, which is a designation for restaurants that serve good food that is more accessible to everyday people.
If you've eaten your way through the park, the good news is that there are lots of ways to get back to normal.
Guided hikes through dense forested areas that alternate with wine-growing regions are led by park rangers.
Nature guides can explain the uses of wild plants in the kitchen.
You can explore the park on your own after visiting an interactive permanent exhibition which introduces visitors to the lay of the land and its variety of species and habitats.
The exhibition explores the idea that trees, plants and other creatures in the national park communicate in ways that are just beginning to be understood.
