The Black Forest National Park (German: Nationalpark Schwarzwald) is a national park in the state of Baden-Württemberg in the southwest of Germany.. It has an area of 10,062 hectares (100.62 km 2; 38.85 sq mi) and is located on the main crest of the Northern Black Forest, mainly between the Black Forest High Road (Schwarzwaldhochstraße) and the valley of the Murg.
The longer name is used to distinguish this path from other east–west routes in the Black Forest. Available guide books (e.g. Bremke, 1999) describe walking the route in the west–east direction, which leads to sharp climbs on the first one or two days and then more gradual descents for the rest of the route.
