There is a 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 do not speak German. ( have your German dictionary handy).
The most important destination there 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.
