Arrive in Baden-Baden, the elegant spa town nestled in the foothills of the Black Forest. During the Belle Époque, this sophisticated resort attracted Europe's nobility and cultural elite, drawn by its thermal springs and legendary casino. Your guided walking tour reveals the town's remarkable architectural heritage. Your guide will lead you through the enchanting Lichtentaler Allee, a historic park and arboretum stretching along the River Oos, where 19th-century aristocrats once promenaded among rare trees and elegant flowerbeds.

Lunch: Free Time in Baden-Baden

Afternoon: Black Forest Heights

The afternoon journey takes you along the famous Schwarzwaldhochstrasse (Black Forest High Road), where panoramic views unfold at every turn. This historic route once used for logging, now provides access to some of the region's most breathtaking vistas.

Your route continues along the Badische Weinstrasse (Baden Wine Route), Germany's third-largest wine region. Here, both red and white wines flourish, with Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) dominating red production and Müller-Thurgau leading the whites.
