Itinerary
We meet at the airport at 12.30pm for our direct KM Malta Airlines flight to Zurich airport departing at 3pm arriving at 5.25pm. We board our coach and en route to our 4-star Central Hotel in Schwenningen, Germany, for our stay in the Black Forest region. The small, charming town of Schwenningen, with its traditional buildings and town square, is ideally situated to discover the highlights of the area. On arrival, we check-in our rooms, followed by a welcome drink, and later we join our tour leader for a familiarisation walk.
On our first full day optional excursion, we cross to neighbouring France for an excursion to Strasbourg. We drive through the lovely countryside, and on the way, we shall stop at Dorotheenhutte glass paradise and its unique all-year-round Christmas shop. Our next stop will be in France to visit Strasbourg, the site of the European Parliament. Our walking tour takes us to Petite France, the city lively hub, known for cobblestone streets, canals and well-preserved half-timbered houses, mainly the Tanners House, built in 1572. We end our walking tour in the old medieval town at Place de la Cathedrale with its superb cathedral surrounded by majestic buildings.
Today our full-day optional excursion takes us first to the botanical island of Mainau (extra), known for its splendour of flowers, children park, pony rides, petting zoo and its main attraction: The Butterfly House. Early in the afternoon, we head to Constance, situated on the famous Lake Constance, bordering with Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This historical town is ideal to stroll around the picturesque pedestrian streets. The harbour offers breathtaking views of the lake and the distant Alps.
Our full-day optional excursion takes us to visit Stuttgart, the sixth largest city in Germany. Our short walking tour will end in Palace Square, where we can see the Old and New Palaces and stroll along the traffic-free 1100m long pedestrian Konigstrasse, ideal for personal sightseeing and a shopping paradise. One may opt to visit on his own the Mercedes-Benz Museum (extra) which takes you through a journey of more than 130 years of fascinating automotive history and on into the future. Arrangements will be done by the tour leader for those interested to visit the museum on their own. In the afternoon we will proceed to Waldenbuch to visit the Ritter Sport Chocolate Factory Shop, famous for the abundant variety of chocolates which has been recognized around the world for their unique square shape of chocolate. Opportunity to buy some delicious products.
A full-day optional excursion to the Black Forest core awaits us today as it takes us on a pleasant drive through endless paths among the forest trees. We start with a fascinating view complimented by the sound of roaring water when we visit Triberg Waterfalls (extra) and walk down the side path to see one of Germany highest waterfalls. After this photographer paradise, we proceed to see the world largest cuckoo clock in Clock Park Eble which was completed in 1994 after five years of construction. Three years later it earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records and has held the title ever since. We later head towards Lake Titisee, situated 858m above sea level between wooded slopes of the forest. Titisee is one of the most popular destinations in the Black Forest and is ideal for swimming, pedal boating and strolling along the charming pedestrian promenade. If in operation, we can have a pleasure boat trip on this emerald, green lake.
Another full-day optional excursion will take us once more to France, stopping in Colmar, known also as “Little Venice of Alsace”. We admire the half-timbered houses and peaceful canals while walking through the cobbled streets. We drive back to Germany, stopping in Freiburg, the capital of the Black Forest Region. Here, we visit the Gothic Cathedral dominating the square and stroll around the 14th century buildings and pedestrian area for personal sightseeing and shopping.
