Few German regions resonate internationally like the Black Forest. Its northern gateway — Baden-Baden and the Black Forest High Road — begins just over 1.5 hours south of Frankfurt Airport.
The Highlights of a Day Tour
- Triberg: Germany's highest waterfalls and the famous cuckoo clock workshops.
- Titisee: the iconic Black Forest lake with its waterfront promenade — perfect for lunch.
- Black Forest High Road (B500): the panoramic route between Baden-Baden and Freudenstadt.
- Gengenbach & Schiltach: picture-book half-timbered villages.
- Black Forest gateau: at Café Schäfer in Triberg, made to the original recipe.
The Black Forest is not a place but a route — which is exactly why it works so much better privately than by train.
Why Private Instead of Rail?
The prettiest corners are scattered across valleys and ridges — barely combinable in one day by public transport. On the private Black Forest day trip (from €136), your driver builds the route around your wishes and waits at every stop.
Combine with Baden-Baden
On the way back, a stop in Baden-Baden fits perfectly: Kurhaus, casino, Lichtentaler Allee. More inspiration under day trips from Frankfurt.
