We show that the entropy of Schwarzschild black holes in any dimension can be
described by a gas of free string bits at the stretched horizon. The number of
string bits is equal to the black hole entropy and energy dependent. For an
asymptotic observer the bit gas is at the Hawking temperature. We show that the
same description is also valid for de Sitter space--times in any dimension.
