From Hells Valley to Heaven…

Passing Hells Valley we reach Heaven, before having our first stop in Freiburg. Freiburg is a lovely middle age town with small lanes and historical monuments.

During your guided tour you'll see old villas, the house of the whale, the bubbling streams passing through the town, and last but not least, the famous cathedral of Freiburg.

Time for a light lunch, the "Lange Rote." This is the famous long sausage of Freiburg, very well known because of its good taste and quality.

We continue our journey back to the Black Forest through a vine valley. It is an exceptional wine region, they grow wine at 500 meters sea level!

By passing the vineyards we taste the most famous one, it's a Weissherbst. Looks like a rosé but it is not a rosé.

Next stop is the most beautiful Baroque church of the Black Forest, part of a monastery and built by monks.

Now its time for a cruise! At Lake Titisee we leave the coach to board a ship. Lake Titisee is surrounded by mountains, and depending upon the weather we'll see our highest peak, the mountain "Feldberg". It's a gorgeous view.

Black Forest Gateau
Never visit the Black Forest without tasting our delicous Black Forest gatau

In our lovely little museum you'll see a treasury of folklore from the 18th and 19th century.

If you visit the Black Forest without tasting a Black Forest gateau, you haven't been here!

Our baker shows us the making of our traditional cake and then we'll have a nice cup of coffee or tea with it, before we just pop into a distillery and continue our tasting with homemade Black Forest Schnapps.

Light-hearted and happy we drive back to the hotel.
