The Black Forest is a mountainous terrain at about 200 - 1500 meters above sea level, the highest hill being the ''Feldberg'' at 1493 m. The region is famous for its cuckoo clocks, watchmaking, skiing and tourism. There is a large high-tech light engineering industry in the region stemming from the gold-mining and watchmaking days. Almost all tourists are from Germany and Switzerland; the region's tourist industry is therefore not well equipped to deal with guests who don't speak German.The most important destination in the ''Schwarzwald'' is called, interestingly, ''Titisee'', which is a medium-sized lake with associated tourist village (Titisee-Neustadt) and hotels, with very nice views and generally very relaxed and healthy activities. From here it is a short journey to Lake Constance and the city of Konstanz, or to see the Rhein Waterfall at Neuhausen in Switzerland. http://wikitravel.org/en/Black Forest
