Freiburg
Guided tour in the charming old-town with its architectural treasures, the colourful market,
narrow alleyways and the lovely water channels babbling through the town. Towering above all this
is the Freiburg cathedral with its unique church steeple. After having visited the town lets have
a break and taste the famous “Lange Rote” of Freiburg, which is a long sausage.
Triberg
Is a small town in the very heart of the Black Forest and there is none that compares to this. We are visiting
the beautiful pilgrimage church called “Maria in der Tann – Holy Mary in the Forest” in barock style, before
we have a short walk to The highest waterfall between the North Sea and the Alps which is to be found in Triberg.
To finish our tour we enter the town hall to have a look at the wooden carved hall inside. Your guide will tell
you the story behind all these sculptures, and will show you the hidden spirit of the town.
Colmar
Is the birthplace of sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, creator of the Statue of Liberty!
By our little walk through the well-preserved old city center houses, we’ll find crooked half timbered houses,
as well as large scale buildings in german Gothic and early Renaissance. Matthias Grünewalds famous Isneheim
altarpiece is the most noteworthy of the treasures housed in the city’s Unterlindenmuseum.
If requested we’ll organise a French snack for you with typical French cheese, called Münsterkäse,
and french baguette bread. For tasting and smelling a bit of France…
Strassburg
is the capital and principal city of the Alsace region and the seat of several European institutions
such as the European Parliament and the European Ombudsman of the European Union. Its historic center,
the Grande Ile ("Grand Island"), was classified a World Heritage site by Unesco in 1988, the first time
such an honour was placed on an entire city center. Strasbourg is beautifully fused into the Franco-German
culture. By walking through 2000 years of history we are also visiting the beautiful cathedral of Strasburg
with its large astronomical clock inside. This city is also home to beautiful bridges.
