Lake Constance

Lake constance

If you have a few days to spend in the Black Forest a visit to Lake Constance is highly recommended. Lake Constance is a lake only a short drive from the Black Forest. If you look at a map of Lake Constance  you will discover that the lake is bordered by the countries of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. A boat ride to all 3 countries is a must-do when visiting. More than half of the shoreline of Lake Constance is in Germany though so it makes sense to start your journey coming from the Black Forest. Lake Constance is 15 km long (9 miles) wide at its widest point, 74 km (46 miles) long, 252 m deep (826 feet) and 395 m (1,295 ft) high. The area around Lake Constance is known for its mild climate and hills around the lake are covered with vineyards. There are almost 200 professional fishermen active today. If you have a chance to enjoy lunch or dinner at Lake Constance enjoy some of the fish which is on the menu of just about any restaurant.

The town of  Meersburg is opposite of the university town Constance. You can take a boat over to visit Meersburg or take the car ferry which is available several times each hour.

Look at some of the pictures of Lake Constance to see how beautiful this Lake is!

Black Forest Travel Guide

A written Black Forest Travel Guide is difficult to find. Most travel books encompass all of Germany, only mentioning a few sentences about the Black Forest. The Black Forest of Germany is a popular travel destination for German and European visitors and therefore most of the information available to visitors is written in German or another European language. There are travel books like Rick Steves’ Travel Guide to Germany. But Rick Steves, after all, is a tourist as well. His knowledge and understanding of the Black Forest is limited to his own experience, not what you would get directly from a local. If you want to travel like a local – we are the locals.

Over the years we have compiled all our experiences into one compact Black Forest Travel Guidebook. With each purchase of one of our Black Forest tours you will be receiving a complimentary copy of the ‘Feel at Home in the Black Forest’ travel guide. Different sections will explain the local food to you, the local traditions and customs. With our guide you can confidently travel in the Black Forest.

Black Forest by Train

Interested in exploring the Black Forest by Train? Our experience shows that is quite difficult to figure out what trains and busses to take through the Black Forest. In many cities like Munich or Berlin you have a hop-on-hop-off bus showing you all the attractions. But there is no bus tour in English you can hop on to see all the Black Forest attractions. Many guidebooks talking about the Black Forest are in German only. And the train system is somewhat difficult to figure out. We created several Black Forest itineraries which take you through different parts of the Black Forest showing you many of the must-see attractions. Hop on the Black Forest Railway for a scenic ride. We point out where to shop for a cuckoo clock, where to eat a piece of Black Forest cake or where that Black Forest restaurant is located all the locals talk about. When you purchase one of our all-day tours you can be assured that you have plenty of details on what trains to take, what stops to get off and where to change to another train or bus. Explore the Black Forest by train and bus with our help! See you soon in the Black Forest!
