Triberg, Rheinfall & Titisee: Private Black Forest day tour

Three waterfalls and a glacial lake in one nine-hour loop

A private day tour of Germany's Black Forest and Switzerland's Rhine Falls, departing from your hotel with a guide in your choice of language and returning at day's end. The itinerary moves through Triberg (home to Germany's highest waterfall and the World's Largest Cuckoo Clock), Titisee (a glacial lake with a lakeside village and Black Forest cake), and Rheinfall (Europe's largest waterfall, 23 meters high and 150 meters wide). Lunch stops at local restaurants are built into the day. Pickup and air-conditioned transport are included.

The experience

Triberg anchors the first half of the tour. The town sits in a steep forested valley where water cascades 163 meters down the cliffs, Germany's highest waterfall. You'll explore the waterfall viewpoints for photographs, then move through the Triberg Museum (natural stones and Black Forest history), the Instagram House, and the Miniature World, where parts of Switzerland appear in small scale. The cuckoo clocks the town is famous for sit throughout, and you can walk the village streets between stops.

Titisee comes next: a glacial lake ringed by alpine scenery and a working village on its shore. The tour includes time to walk the lakeside, browse the shops (tax-back prices on watches and clocks), and sit in a café with the region's authentic Black Forest cake. Depending on the season, a boat ride across the lake is an option. All the time not spent driving moves through these two stops and the meals built into the day.

Rheinfall closes the loop. You'll stand on viewing platforms above the roaring cascades (Europe's largest waterfall, where 23 meters of water plunge across a 150-meter span), and explore the Rheinfall Museum. The raw scale of the falls and the mist rising from the rocks are the payoff for the drive. Your guide, speaking English, Spanish, German or Czech, stays with the group throughout, and the vehicle carries bottled water and WiFi for the nine-hour day.
