Program & Itinerary
Private Day Trip from Strasbourg to Freiburg & the Black Forest
Experience Freiburg and its lovely old quarter
In the morning, your English-speaking driver/guide will pick you up at your centrally located hotel or accommodation in Strasbourg. After going over the program and itinerary of the day, board your air‑conditioned minivan and begin your journey toward southern Germany.
Freiburg is known for its ancient university, impressive medieval minster (cathedral), high quality of life, and pioneering environmental policies. Set in the heart of a major wine‑growing region and often considered a gateway to the Black Forest, the city also boasts one of Germany’s prettiest old quarters, famous for its Bächle—narrow water channels running along the streets. Highlights include the Freiburg Minster on Münsterplatz square, the Augustinermuseum, and the Schlossberg hill, along with a lively mix of cafés, bars, and traditional eateries. This morning, follow your guide on a walking tour to discover the main monuments and sights, then enjoy some free time for personal exploration and lunch (at your own expense).
Then, a trip through the Black Forest
In the afternoon, head out along a scenic route into the Black Forest, a wooded mountain range bordered by the Rhine valley to the west and south. The region’s highest peak is the Feldberg at 1,493 metres. The name “Black Forest” comes from the dark, dense pine and fir forests that cloak its hillsides and inspired legends and fairy tales such as the Brothers Grimm’s Hansel & Gretel.
The Black Forest is also the birthplace of the famous Black Forest gateau and traditional cuckoo clocks. During your drive, you will follow a picturesque route and stop in a quaint village on the shores of one of the area’s most beautiful lakes. Here, you may choose to sample local specialities like cured meats or treat yourself to a slice of authentic Black Forest cake before returning to Strasbourg at the end of the day.

Additional information
This tour is best for travelers who love scenic landscapes, charming towns and flexible exploring, and who prefer a relaxed private experience over a crowded bus tour. It’s ideal for couples, friends and families with older children who enjoy guided walking, light storytelling and plenty of photo stops rather than intense hiking or museum‑only days.
Curious visitors who appreciate culture, history and nature in equal measure—from Freiburg’s old town to tranquil Black Forest views—will get the most from this day, especially if they value comfort, door‑to‑door transport and time to tailor the itinerary to their own pace and interests.
