What you can expect

Leave Strasbourg and cross the Border into Germany to visit some one of the most beautiful regions of the area with your English speaking tour guide.

Departing from the city of Strasbourg, take part in a small group shared day trip that will take you to one of the most emblematic regions of Germany. At first, you will meet your English speaking guide in a centrally located meeting point in Strasbourg. After having welcomed everyone, your driver/guide will summarise the day for you. It will then be time to board your comfortable and recent air-conditioned minivan to depart for today's destination: the Black Forest area.

At first you will cross the nearby border of France into Germany leaving the Grand Est region and entering the state of Baden Württemberg. The Black Forest is a wooded mountain range bordered by the Rhine valley to the west and south. The highest peak is the Feldberg with an elevation of 1,493 metres (4,898 feet). The name Black Forest comes from the general dark colour of the numerous pine trees that grow in this region. The Black Forest gateau and the cuckoo clocks originate from this region.

Reach the town of Baden Baden, nestled at the foot of the black forest. The city has attracted royalty, the rich and celebrities over the centuries. Follow your guide and discover the numerous architectural splendours and magnificent villas that are lined along the Lichtentaler Allee. After this short walking tour, admire the landscape as your tour follows the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse. Here, the numerous viewpoints and belvedere will allow you to take in stunning scenes of the Upper Rhine Valley of the Vosges mountain range of France in the distance.

Arrive at pretty Mummelsee lake where you will have some free time for personal discovery and lunch. Mummelsee is the largest, deepest and highest of the seven cirque lakes. Here, you might want to try the local food such as the cured meats or the world-famous Black Forest cake that leaves nobody indifferent! After the tour, return to Strasbourg.
