Step into a living fairy tale on this private day trip through Germany’s legendary Black Forest (Schwarzwald). With your personal guide at the wheel, you’ll explore quiet villages, deep pine forests, and local traditions that have inspired countless legends — from cuckoo clocks to Hansel and Gretel.
Your journey begins in Freiburg, the region’s unofficial capital, with its Gothic cathedral, historic Old Town, and famously sunny climate. From there, your guide will take you into the heart of the Black Forest, where winding roads pass through lush hills, timber-framed houses, and charming countryside.
Visit Triberg, known for Germany’s highest waterfalls and the world’s largest cuckoo clock. Learn how local artisans handcraft these clocks — and if you’re curious, your guide can take you to a small workshop for a behind-the-scenes look.
Stop in the postcard village of Schiltach or Gengenbach, where narrow lanes and flower-decked balconies bring centuries of tradition to life. Sample regional specialties like Black Forest ham, Kirschwasser (cherry schnapps), and of course, Black Forest cake in a cozy Gasthaus your guide recommends.
Nature lovers can take a short hike to a panoramic viewpoint, while those interested in folklore can visit an open-air museum showcasing centuries-old farmhouses and village life.
This tour is perfect for families, photographers, and travelers who want to breathe in the culture and calm of rural Germany. With a knowledgeable guide who speaks the local dialect and knows the best hidden spots, the Black Forest becomes more than a destination — it becomes an experience.
