Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Frankfurt – The Compelling Contrasts of Frankfurt Frankfurt doesn't quite resemble what you might be picturing for the Black Forest. The skyline is all glistening skyscrapers and futuristic design, resembling the city's role as Germany's financial capital. But from the upper echelons of the towers, you can see the rural landscape start to spill out and far beneath the clean lines, you wil find a history that contrasts the cityscape. Frankfurt has been around since before the Romans, the home of dozens of monarchs and a place of Renaissance revival. Unfortunately, not that much survived World War II, so you'll need an expert local guide to unravel the compelling contrasts. |
Day 2: Frankfurt – Cruising Along the Rhine River The Rhine flows slowly, big broad corners that sweep alongside vineyards and forested valleys. It imbues you not to rush, the gentle current encouraging everyone to slow the pace and absorb the gentle charms. Casting shadows on the hillside, see the remains of ancient castles, turrets decaying yet redolent with power. The strange rock of Lorelei rises from one bank, a steep slab of granite appearing like a phantom in the river. It's a rock of legend, one that's given rise to tales about cave-dwelling dwarfs and mermaids that appeared on Mondays throughout history. Somehow it feels believable here, the scenic stretch of river etching charm into every angle. |
Day 3: Heidelberg to Baden-Baden – Castles Remains and Royal Spa Hangouts Heidelberg seems to grow out of the Black Forest, the trees rising above its symmetrical rows of red slate roofs. The old town tumbles along the slopes, descending to the River Neckar and its bridges of broad stone arches. Travel here from Frankfurt and wander along the historic streets, rising towards Heidelberg Castle, an icon that dominates the town from afar. This fabulous Renaissance structure is one of Germany's most known attractions, a castle left in a redolent state of ruin. Parts of it date to the 13th century, others to the 17th, and the romantic turrets from the 18th. It's never been that successful as a fortress, and the historical tale includes regular attack and occupation, but it's a fabulous showcase of excess, more a royal palace than a place to defend. |
Day 4: Vogtsbauernhöfe to Freiburg – The Spectacular High Route Through the Black Forest The Black Forest roads contradict any images of a German autobahn. They meander slowly, ascending and descending as they connect the spine of peaks that dominates the landscape. Spectacular views come at regular intervals, with the Rhine Valley opening below and the Vosges Mountains glistening in the background. Follow the trail past Mummelsee Lake, where there is the opportunity to walk at leisure in this quaint rural setting. Then, move on to the thatched roof buildings and geranium windows of Vogtsbauernhöfe, a preserved reminder of traditional life in the Black Forest. |
Day 5: Britnau – Immersed in the Charms of the Forest Wake to a quiet morning, the forest bathed in a layer of mist that rolls, then disappears like a magic carpet. Take one of the walking trails, winding beneath the pine to easy lookout points, or take a dip in the spa or another stroll into Freiburg's center, where the cathedral tower offers supreme panoramas. Freiburg is Germany's sunniest town, and there is always a glow across the landscape. In the afternoon, drive into the heartbeat of the Black Forest as tiny villages are hidden, delighting in their old-world authenticity. |
Day 6: Titisee to Baiersbronn – Cuckoo Clocks and Culinary Treasures There's something about a cuckoo clock that has people envisaging Switzerland or a remote alpine hut, but they originate from the Black Forest, although the historical tales are unclear about who invented them first. Titisee has the cuckoo clock visitor's center and a fabulous array of design, all handcrafted from wood and filling the air with their distinctive chimes. They're symbolic of the region, a bizarre tradition that's just as important now as it was in the 18th century. Cheese is another authentic slice of local life, and you'll find it made on farms across the region. In Titisee, stop at a small farm to explore the flavors, the majority of them on the rich and creamy end of the scale. |
Day 7: Stuttgart – Enchanting Stuttgart and a Fabulous Farewell Dinner Travel east to Stuttgart, a city that's home to Mercedes and Porsche yet holds fast to its 10th-century history and traditions. Meander through the streets to find chic art galleries, boutique stores, castle relics, and the enthralling atmosphere of the city square. A guided tour of the city helps unveil the diversity, from the odes to history to the clean lines of the car factories, where the inspiring scale of production is matched by attention to detail. |
Day 8: Stuttgart – Departure Stuttgart's international airport offers a convenient departure point for Germany, and you will be transferred to the airport for your flight. |
