I want to explore Austria / Germany (Black Forest) and comparitively new to Europe.
I dont have any Car/ license to drive it as well.
Not intending to live in big cities and would prefer small towns.
I woul;d really appreciate the pointers for planning the trip.
Trains go all over Germany and Austria, and run about hourly on most routes, so you can easily travel without a car and might only occasionally need to take a bus. Some buses are reflected on train schedules, as well. How to Look Up Train Schedules and Routes Online gives you the DB train schedule link and tips for using it.

self,
I'd suggest having a look at a few guidebooks covering the regions you want to visit. Those will provide information both on towns that may be of interest to you, as well as transportation to reach those towns. As you're "comparitevely new to Europe", it would be helpful to read Europe Through The Back Door prior to your trip, as that has a lot of good information on "how" to travel well in Europe.
It would help to have a bit more information on your circumstances. For example, where are you travelling from, how long are you planning to stay in Europe (you mention that you are "Not intending to live in big cities"), what type of accommodations you prefer, etc.
