Don’t just take our word for it, this is how our previous travellers rate this tour.
Join us as we tour one of Germany’s most stunning areas of natural beauty, the Black Forest. Take in the wintertime delights of this dense, evergreen forest, where you can also enjoy the picturesque lakes of Titisee and Schluchsee. Along the way you will visit the old town of Freiburg, famous for its miniature canals, and the beautiful Minster, then marvel at Germany’s highest waterfall in all of its glory, as we head into Treiburg. Taking our tour across the border into Switzerland, you will have time to explore the pretty towns of Schaffhausen and Stein am Rhein, or simply choose to spend time relaxing in resort, exploring the local surroundings of your Black Forest retreat. With visits to Boppard and the spa town of Baden-Baden also included, you’re sure to return home from your holiday with truly magical memories.

Our day begins with a scenic drive through the Black Forest region to the university town of Freiburg. Known for its historic old town and fine architecture, popular landmarks in the town include the ornate Freiburg Minster, with its 116 metre tall tower, and the old and new town halls. Freiburg is also known for the miniature canals which run through its streets. Known as ‘Bächle’ these waterways used to supply water to the town for industrial use, and it is said that those who step into the miniature canals are sure to visit Freiburg again.
We then travel to Triberg, home to Germany’s highest waterfalls, and to the pilgrimage church of ‘Maria in der Tanne’. Renowned for its cuckoo clock tradition, Triberg’s carvers, clockmakers and clock shops help to shape the distinctive character of this charming town.
Included Highlights
Today’s included excursion takes us across the border into Switzerland. Our first stop is the traffic free old town of Schaffhausen. Considered one of the prettiest towns in Switzerland, you will have free time to explore the narrow, medieval streets and admire the lavishly painted façades of the guild-houses.
We later continue to Stein am Rhein, home to the impressive Hohenhlingen Castle which overlooks the medieval town. There will be free time here for you to explore the historic alleyways and beautiful Rathausplatz (town hall square) before returning to the hotel.
