Northern Black Forest holiday apartment during the autumn holidays
On the Grinden the heather turns first in October, then the beech woods below it — two changes of colour within three weeks.
What is different at this time of year
Autumn is the quieter and often the finest season for walking — with far better availability than the summer.
When people usually book
For the autumn holidays two to four months' notice is usually enough.
