ITINERARY
Start your Black Forest adventure in the pretty town of Freiburg and allow 2 days for sightseeing, exploring and generally soaking up the al-fresco cafe culture. Start your exploration at the famous Munsterplatz, which is regarded as the heart of the Old Town. Step inside the iconic Freiburg Munster and browse the colourful Munsterplatz Market that is open daily. Navigate your way towards the eye-catching Blue Bridge for a great photo op, take a visit to the Sacred Heart Church and stop for a hearty lunch at nearby Cafe Huber.
Overnight in Freiburg
After breakfast, for something a bit different, head to Europa Park for the day, Germany’s largest theme park which is only a 30 minute drive from Freiburg.
Overnight in Freiburg
After breakfast, check out and proceed to Baden Baden. The previous day’s excitement and after plenty of exploring in Freiburg, embrace the ‘down time’ part of your itinerary with a stay in Baden-Baden.
The drive from Freiburg to Baden Baden takes around 1.5 hours along a major highway. The Black Forest is home to a series of spa towns, and Baden-Baden is probably the most well known. But if spa-ing isn’t for you, there are plenty of museums on the Cultural mile and lots of elegant boutique shops in the old town. It’s also home to ‘the most beautiful casino in the world’ according to Marlene Dietrich.
Overnight in Baden Baden
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast and then check out to travel towards Feldberg. Enroute stop at the Triberg waterfalls. Once you’ve soaked up the beautiful sights at the Triberg waterfalls, head on to your final destination of this Black Forest itinerary; Feldberg. The drive from Triberg to Feldberg takes around an hour.
On arrival, check in and relax. Feldberg had much to see and do, to make the most of the area. Start your time in Feldberg with an easy hike to the stunning Feldsee Lake. It’s hidden in the forest and can only be reached by foot, so if you want to see it you’ve got to be willing to put the work in. From the car park its around a 1 hour walk, give or take depending on your pace.
Overnight in Feldberg
After breakfast, scheduled today is a visit to Titisee. Probably one of the more touristy areas of The Black Forest. This picturesque lake is framed by lush mountains and is a hub of activity in the summer months. You can hire rowing boats and pedalos or you can hop on a large passenger boat for a relaxing river cruise – ideal after all your hiking and activities. If you want to avoid the crowds, check out the lesser known Schluchsee Lake and for some panoramic views take a ride on the Feldbergbahn (Feldberg cable car).
Do visit Drubba famous for its cuckoo clocks and indulge in the original Black Forest cake.
Overnight in Feldberg
After breakfast, check out and drive to the closest train station at Basel uniquely situated on the borders of Germany, Switzerland and France, from where you board your train to Zurich for your flight back home. We are sure you are taking home enjoyable memories of this self drive vacation in the Black Forest region of Germany with Airtours Holidays!
