Quoted from "Adalinds Baby,Frau Pech& Stefania" post #11 page 2
I occupied myself with this map some time ago so I'd like to answer this in here.
It's absolutely possible the writers meant the Black Forest. But in the map you can see the "Schwarzwald" is on the left side, pretty far away from where Monroe pointed. But I don't expect the writers to be exact on that .
What I don't understand: why does someone need all of the keys and every piece of the map to find one location? You just have to find the one key with the location marked.
And the next problem: this map is VERY imprecise. The city of Ulm (according to Monroe the region of the printings of Nick's key) has got more than 117.000 inhabitants today, just compare this to the three or four houses in the map.
From Ulm to the Black Forest, it's about 130km (approx. 80 miles). Even when you have all of the keys and a nice red cross where this treasure is, it would take squaremiles to turn upside down to find it.

Monroe's greatity-great grandfather was a cartographer (Monroe inherited his grandpa's maps and other records) and he showed Nick that the map printed on his key was the exact same, very distinctive style of one of his granddaddy's maps - and guess which one. It was a map of Schwarzwald, or the Black Forest, in Bavaria.

we may have been given a valuable clue as to the location of the 'most powerful item in the world' that the seven Grimm-Knights hid away from the seven Royal houses. The Black Forest. Maybe this has been discussed here before; it's just the first time I noticed it.
