Freiberg & The Rhine
We will travel to Freiburg, which locals lovingly call ‘Germany’s Tuscany’. Located on the edge of the Black Forest and surrounded by vineyards, this beautifully preserved old town is dominated by the spectacular tower of its gothic cathedral. Once in Freiburg it’s easy to see why the town is protected as a national monument. The Munsterplatz is one of Germany’s most beautiful cathedral squares and here you’ll find a host of tempting cafés and restaurants specialising in the local cuisine, as well as shops packed with regional produce including the delicious Kirschwasser (Black Forest cherry liqueur). On the same day we include a visit to the ancient Celtic town of Breisach on the River Rhine. Here you will have free time to admire the town’s two stunning Romanesque gates, as well as it’s typically German Gothic Cathedral. You may also like to take the opportunity to view this beautiful town from another angle by taking a boat trip along the River (not included).
