This new journey leads to the border triangle Germany, France, Switzerland. A look at the weather map or advertising promises a spot of earth "spoiled by the sun". The climatic conditions have created a diverse flora and fauna and a well-known wine region. In addition, this gem in the Upper Rhine plain, picturesquely situated between the Black Forest and the Vosges Mountains, offers many cultural and art historical highlights in Freiburg, Colmar and Basel. The beautiful landscapes at Tuniberg and Kaiserstuhl invite you to hike and linger. In addition to the guided program points, there is also the opportunity to explore cities and regions on your own or simply relax and unwind.
