Welcome to the capital of the Black Forest, very close to France and Switzerland
NO OFFERS FROM SPAIN AT ANY TIME - Thank you.
We have a townhouse, situated on a slope, with a small garden in the sunny and beautiful southwest of Germany. From our home it is only 10 minutes by streetcar to the historical center of Freiburg (founded in 1120) with its many medieval sights, museums, parks and other places of interest. A 25-50 minute ride by car to the east takes you to the beautiful Black Forest with its numerous sights and hiking trails and to Lake Constance (2 h, panoramic view of the Alps). Kaiserstuhl, the famous wine-growing district and European bird sanctuary, with its quaint little villages and unique sunken paths in the loess as well as picturesque Alsace (e.g. Colmar, Strasbourg) are about 20-60 min away in the west. Le Corbusier's famous chapel in Ronchamp (UNESCO world heritage site) can be reached in 90 min. To the north there are a number of castle ruins (10th-15th century), the world’s best amusement park, Europa-Park (30 min), and towns/cities like Baden-Baden (65 min, thermal springs), medieval Gengenbach (50 min), Karlsruhe (85 min, baroque castle), world-renowned Heidelberg (2h) and Stuttgart (2h). Heading south there is Markgräflerland, another well-known wine-growing area (30-45 min). Visit the small medieval town of Staufen at the foot of a castle or enjoy a bath in the hot springs of Badenweiler. To Basel (historic old town, famous museums, zoo) in Switzerland it is less than an hour by car.
Needless to say that our region is known for its good food and wine and also for its typically German „Gemütlichkeit“ (sociability).

CA50550Pam and Axel made us feel like friends from the start of our conversations about an exchange.
Their home was very comfortable with a lovely garden, a great place to relax, after a day of sightseeing.
We really enjoyed the location of Freiburg. It’s a great starting place for touring the Black Forest and so much to see and do in and around the city.
Great transportation with the tram and bus only a 5 minute walk from their house.
A great place to spend your vacation, we highly recommend it.
