Western gate of the Black Forest, between vineyards, villages, castles, waterfalls and the proximity of Strasbourg.

See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: villages very in demand in summer and local relief. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Offenburg
Offenburg is distinguished by its mix of lively streets and places of pause where one hears the local tempo. The experience is more accurate if you live it on foot, passing from the main arteries to the less visible corners to see the city breathing.
Place
Gengenbach
Gengenbach includes an elegant square, half-timbered houses, cobbled alleys and town gates at the foot of the vineyards of l'Ortenau. The old abbey and the clear facades give up in the center, while the small side streets keep an atmosphere of a very neat Bado village.
Place
Durbach
Durbach offers a quiet discovery made of structured topographical and walk-through details. The place works better in strolling mode: it understands the environment by advancing without constraint and observing the nuances of the frame.
