The Black Forest is called black because of this special trees they have called "Tannenbaum". You might know this form the Christmas song. They are so dense that the light can not really get through and into it so the really dark green of the Tannebaum seems to be black.
I was born and raised in the Black Forest and believe me that is the explanation.

A question back right here from Germany:
Why do all americans only know "Black forest", "Oktoberfest" and "Sauerkraut" ? It´s a little bit annoying for us...
(... or are all americans cowboys, live in trailers and have plastic surgery ?)

The name Black Forest comes from the general dark color of the numerous coniferous trees that grow in this region. (Wiki)

No, the Forest is green, but the Trees are standing often very close together, that 's makes it appearance very dark.
The name itself was created in the Middle Age, Black Forest= Dark Forest.

"black" means "no light" (when you're in the dark forest)...

the black forest?as far as I know that's just an area in Germany. I have been there and the forest was just like everywhere else, not black

The Black Forest is a very beautiful place. I drove there for the day to see the clocks. There was a small town there that had a very large waterfall. The waterfall was frozen because it was wintertime. But to answer your question, it's just a region in Germany. It is a forest region. There are alot of pine trees. This region also has some of the best skiing spots.
