Lying to the right of the Rhine, the rolling hills of the Markgräflerland stretch from the Rhine plains to the Black Forest. Some of the best German wines are grown here in the sunny „Tuscany of Germany“. In the fall you can help the wine-growers harvest the grapes. A nourishing meal in the open air, pleasant company, relaxation, laughter – even the hardest work in the vineyards is fun here.

The many thermal mineral baths (Bad Krozingen, Bad Bellingen, Badenweiler and Baden-Baden) provide havens of peace where guests can be pampered in modern and relaxing surroundings. The clear, well-tempered water bubbles up from ancient volcanic rock, pulsing out of the massage jets. Simply lie back and relax – heavenly – a pleasure that was enjoyed in this area by the ancient Romans. The luxury of past times can be appreciated in the ruins of the baths at Badenweiler.

The Black Forest mountain chain is the sister range to the Vosges mountains in the Alsace. These thickly wooded hills with their dense network of ski routes, hiking and cycle paths enjoy a healthy climate with many hours of sun and extremely good air quality. You can breathe deeply here. Breathe freely. Enjoy the intoxicating scents of nature, gather fresh strength. Towns and villages have been lovingly renovated, often retaining the character of the Middle Ages. Old crafts are to be found throughout the region, such as clock-making, wood-carving, glass-blowing – a fascinating journey through time, a romantic pleasure.

Freiburg, known as the „capital of the Black Forest“ is a cosy town with green open spaces and a well-preserved Gothic character. The cathedral, with its 116 m spire which visitors can climb, is outstanding for its medieval stonemasonry and glass painting. The Town Hall (Rathaus), the Corn Exchange (Kornhaus) and the medieval city gates are also important historic buildings. Freiburg has been a university town since 1457.
The student lifestyle can be sensed throughout the city. The city, with its almost Mediterranean atmosphere, exudes a joie de vivre which is catching: street cafès, garden restaurants, a lively coming and going set against a historical backdrop, a glass of wine – and all is right with the world.
