Black Forest Highlights in 2012
The largest sub-mountainous region in Germany is predominantly situated in the Baden district of the German federal state, which was founded in 1952. The "Large regional exhibition marking 900 years of Baden" traces the development of the region from a small margraviate of Baden into a liberal "Musterländle" or model region. The exhibition runs from 16th June to 11th November 2012 in Karlsruhe Palace.

Giant hipped roofs, rustic sitting rooms – the "Vogtsbauernhof" in the central Black Forest is world-renowned and 2012 marks its 400th anniversary in Kinzigtal.
The Vogtsbauernhof Open Air Museum, which features 6 Black Forest farmhouses and is well worth a visit, is focusing its activities around this anniversary. Numerous activities and exhibitions taking a closer look at how agricultural life has developed over the last 400 years are planned from 25th March to 4th November: en.vogtsbauernhof.org
Blooming gardens, beautiful plants – lots of German federal states surpass themselves each year with garden shows. The "Baden-Württemberg State Garden Show" will explore the theme of "Green urbanity".
It is located on the eastern edge of the Black Forest in Nagold and will be open to visitors from 27th April to 7th October. www.landesgartenschau-nagold.de
