Best Day Trips From Freiburg

Freiburg sits close enough to the Black Forest, Alsace and Basel that a day out barely eats into your morning. The Schauinslandbahn carries visitors straight into the Black Forest hills, while cross-border trips reach French vineyard towns and Swiss Basel by train or organised tour. Here is how the options compare.
