The wood, the green gold, is such a coveted raw material that there was hardly any forest left in the Black Forest at the beginning of the 19th century. The silver fir (abies alba) is also known as "Dutch fir" because it was shipped from the Black Forest to the wood-poor Holland. It is lighter and floats better than the oak, so combined rafts were the norm. You can find out more here: bioveloroute.eu/spot/gruenes-gold-auf-reisen
