cities = The Wildsee is a small lake on top of the Black Forest mountain range in southwestern Germany. It was excavated in the rock by the abrasive forces of the glaciers of the Ice Ages. Rainwater accumulated and the first birds seeded the moss that is still responsible for the lake's existence.

The area has a geological base of sandstone. The sandstone developed a rich brown soil, which originally allowed the European Beech to grow. In the later development of forestry, the Norway Spruce and European Pine (Pinus sylvestris) were introduced. These two tree species build the optical framework for this beautiful setting.
