Tour overview

This 7-day holiday is designed for people travelling on their own, with a room of your own and no single supplement. Return flights to Basel are included, and a host looks after the group, which numbers between fifteen and twenty-seven. You stay six nights at a four-star hotel in the Black Forest, with breakfast and dinner daily.

You explore the traditions of the Black Forest, with a boat ride on Lake Titisee and a slice of Black Forest gateau, then glide up Schauinsland mountain by cable car for wide views.

A day across the border in Alsace takes you to Colmar and Strasbourg, with a wine tasting in the medieval village of Riquewihr. After a free day you tour the university city of Freiburg.

The physical rating is low. This holiday suits solo travellers who want an easy, sociable week in the forests and vineyards of the Upper Rhine.
