Visit the Charming Spa Town of Baden-Baden

Crossing the nearby border into Germany, we leave the Grand Est region and enter the state of Baden-Württemberg, where the magnificent Black Forest awaits. Known for its dense pine trees and captivating landscapes, this mountain range is bordered by the Rhine Valley to the west and south, with its highest peak, Feldberg, reaching an impressive elevation of 1,493 meters (4,898 feet). Discover the origin of the famous Black Forest gateau and cuckoo clocks, which have become synonymous with the region.

Our first stop is the elegant town of Baden-Baden, nestled at the foot of the Black Forest. With a rich history of attracting royalty, the wealthy, and celebrities, Baden-Baden exudes charm. Follow a guided walking tour and marvel at the architectural splendors and magnificent villas lining the picturesque Lichtentaler Allee. Then, enjoy breathtaking views of the Upper Rhine Valley and the Vosges mountain range in the distance as we traverse the scenic Schwarzwaldhochstrasse, with its numerous viewpoints and belvederes.

Discover the Beauty of Mummelsee Lake

Next, we arrive at the enchanting Mummelsee Lake, where you'll have free time to explore and indulge in a delicious lunch. With its impressive circumference of 800 meters, a depth of 17 meters, and an elevation of 1,036 meters, Mummelsee is the largest, deepest, and highest of the seven cirque lakes. Don't miss the opportunity to savor local delicacies like cured meats or the world-famous Black Forest cake, leaving your taste buds satisfied!

Follow the Scenic Badische Weinstrasse on the Return Journey

After lunch, our tour continues along the picturesque wine route of the Badische Weinstrasse, renowned as the longest wine route in Germany, spanning over 500 kilometers. Admire charming small towns, picturesque villages, breathtaking landscapes, and impressive castles that dot the route. Your guide will make strategic stops for fantastic photo opportunities, including the village of Sasbachwalden. 

This beautifully maintained village, nestled in vineyards, has earned recognition for winning the prestigious 'flowering of the villages' national exam. Take a leisurely stroll through the streets and marvel at the stunning flower-decked half-timbered houses. After this delightful stop, we'll return to Strasbourg, concluding our memorable journey through the captivating Black Forest region.

    Carolyne Z 20, Jun 2025 We had a great time on our exploration of Baden Baden and the Black Forest. Our van did get stuck in quite a bit of a traffic situation but it was handled calmly by most involved and resolved quickly. Our lunch stop in the Black Forest was delicious. Be prepared to climb a few steep hills and walk nature trails. Thank you for a lovely day.

    Deb Cairns and Jenny Clow 14, Jul 2024 Dear Ophorus,
    My sister and I would like to congratulate you on your wonderful tours.
    From Strasbourg we went to Colmar on July 12 and Baden Baden July 14.
    Both guides; Jeremy and Robin were exceptional in every way. Their knowledge of the areas, personalities and enthusiasm for their jobs was noticeable and this added to our enjoyment on both days.
    Thank you very much, these trips not only provided educational knowledge but genuine positive experience for us on history and life in this area of France. We continue to travel and will definitely be checking out your other tours.
    Regards
    Deb Cairns and Jenny Clow

    Nancy A 06, Sep 2017 The tour was run by Pauline from Ophorus Excursions. She was fabulous. There were 8 of us traveling in a comfortable van equipped with a driver PA system so we could hear everything she said. Her driving was safe. In Baden-Baden we took some time walking through highlights and the central park, then up into the old part of the city. We then drove to the black forest wine region where we stopped at several sights, including a winery.

    Tina Badley 01, Jan 1970 Our tour to the Black Forest in Germany was unforgettable. Our guide, Robin . Was so kind and knowledgeable. Absolutely the best! We saw the castle ruins. They are a photographers dream . Baden Baden is unique and interesting.The rose garden was in full bloom with hundreds of varieties . Mermaid lake is a jewel in the forest. To be with my daughter where so many of my favorite childhood stories were set! Stories like Hansel and Gretel and Cinderella! What a wonderful dream come true! The natural beauty of these timeless places will refresh your soul. Robin has a number of gems of little unexpected surprises to showcase the area that make this tour well worth every penny! He showed us a bit of the culture and location we would not have otherwise seen.Eating the most unrivaled blackforest cake on the veranda of the mermaid lake the Black Forest of Germany is an unrivaled memory.
