Black Forest

Learn about the history, culture and local cuisine of the Black Forest by combining scenic panoramic routes with some of the attractions along the way.

2 options of Panoramic Routes in the Black Forest to choose from:

Exploring the North of the Black Forest

A scenic panoramic drive up and down the mountains to explore the villages along the valley, stopping every now and then to admire the views and to explore ancient mills.

We will stop to visit the Mummelsee lake (one of the many glacier lakes in the Black Forest),

and heard for a walk through the enchanting town of Sasbachwalden (option to hike to the water fall to see one of the many schnapps’ fountains of the region).

Exploring the Center of the Black Forest

A panoramic drive through the Black Forest will take us to our first stop: the enchanting medieval village of Gengenbach.

Gengenbach

Strolling through it’s charming alleys filled with half-timerbred houses, you will learn about the importance of the timber in the region.  You will also marvel at its medieval towers and walls. During the Xmas time, the town hall becomes the largest Advent Calendar in the world!

Another memorable stop will be at the Vogtsbauernhof (Open Air Museum of the Black Forest). An exceptional location where several old farmhouses were reassembled to showcase the farm way of living of the old centuries.

And last, but not least, we will make a stop at a Cuckoo shop to admire a work of a passionate craftsman: one of the largest cuckoo clocks in the world!
