Duration: 12 h
Our first stop will be at the mighty Switzerland Rhine Falls which is the most powerful waterfall in all of Europe and one of the most popular places to visit in Switzerland. This popular tourist attraction has over one million visitors each year, who all come to see not only the Rhine Falls in Switzerland but the stunning landscape and villages that surround the Rhine River. The Rhine River Falls is found on a stretch of the Rhine River known as the High Rhine.  This is where the waters cascade down to a lower level, creating the picturesque Rhine Water Falls.  The falls are just a single drop waterfall, however with a width of 150 metres and a height of 23 metres, its size is impressive. You will blown away by the sheer power of the Rhine Falls, particularly during the summer, where the water flows at an impressive rate of 600,000 litres per second.Our next visit will be at the Donaueschingen Palace Park is one of the largest landscape parks in Southwest Germany. Though Donaueschingen is a charming old town, its only real tourist attraction is the Donauquelle, the source of the Danube, marked by a small blue pool of water. The basin is framed by wrought iron fence and a group of allegorical statues sculpted by Adolf Heer in 1895. These depict the Baar, Germany’s great central plateau, as a mother showing her daughter, the Danube, the way out into the world. After short stop we will drive to geografical point  where the danube river starts. The Danube is conventionally taken to be formed by the confluence of the two streams Brigach and Breg just east of Donaueschingen. The source of the Donaubach, which flows into the Danube, in Donaueschingen is often referred to as the source of the Danube (Donauquelle). Hydrologically, the source of the Danube is the source of the Breg as the larger of the two formative streams, which rises near Furtwangen. Our next stop will be at Triberg , home to Germany’s highest waterfall, heir to the original 1915 Black Forest gateau recipe, and nesting ground of the world’s biggest cuckoos, Triberg leaves visitors reeling with superlatives. It was here that in bleak winters past folk huddled in snowbound farmhouses to carve the clocks that would drive the world cuckoo, and here that in a flash of brilliance the waterfall was harnessed to power the country’s first electric street lamps in 1884. The Gutach River feeds the seven-tiered falls, which drop a total of 163m and are illuminated until 10pm. A paved trail accesses the cascades. Pick up a bag of peanuts at the ticket counter to feed the tribes of inquisitive red squirrels. Next we will stop at Freiburg im Breisgau. Thanks to an extraordinary location in southern Germany, the city of Freiburg is considered the gateway to the Black Forest and one of the top tourist destinations in the Baden-Wurttenberg region. Visitors to Freiburg can look forward to enjoying a relaxed holiday, as the city offers plenty of opportunities to get away from it all and enjoy a well-deserved break. We will walk through the Altstadt (Old Town) where you will see monuments round the Münsterplatz (Cathedral Square) ,"Wolfshöhle" (Wolf´s Cave),Oberlinden, the Schwabentor (Swabian Gate), the medieval cathedral, the old Merchants’ Hall, the town hall, the courthouse, St Martin’s Church, the city gates (known as Schwabentor, Martinstor, and Breisachertor), Colombi Palace, and the Whale House, Charming little alleys and public squares, theatres and art galleries,  parks and gardens. Our last stop by the return way to Zurich will be at lake Titisee. The highest lake in the Black Forest, Titisee is one of the most popular places for families, with a wide range of entertainment possibilities. Its shores are a pleasant mix of forests and lodgings, so while there are plenty of places to stay, the lake retains its natural landscape. The Seestraße in Titisee-Neustadt is a promenade, where you can stroll between the shore and a selection of shops and cafes (a good place to stop and sample Black Forest cherry cake). Or take a 30-minute boat trip around the lake. After we will return to Zurich.
