1 Day in the black forest

We are starting our trip of at Baden-baden and plannin on heading down to titisee and then evenyually to Germisch to spend the night there.

What are the most important spots to see along the way?

We are planning on purchasing a Cuckoo clock.

So any feedback on the best place to buy with decent prices would be much appreciated.

I am not sure how you are travelling so i assume you will be in a car. Avoid the dull motorway south from Baden Baden and drive down the B500 instead, the road runs along a ridge with views across the Rhine valley and across to Strasbourg. I would head to Freudenstadt and then down to Schiltach. Schiltach is a lovely village with wooden framed buildings, really nice we stayed here for a week. Plana route then down through Triberg for the touristy Cuckoo clocks and then down to Titisee. Again we stayed close to Titisee and really enjoyed the area, great restaurants overlooking the lake. Prices were very good as there are quite a few places competing.

Have a look at the route planning site www.viamichelin.com

Titisee town web site titisee.de/servlet/…index.html

Its a long way to Garmish lets hope you have enough time to take in all the sites. Try the Rhine Falls just over the border of Switzerland near Schaffhausen, Konstanz, Lindau, Fussen for Neuschwanstein Castle, Oberamergau, Garmish. Most towns in Germany will have a tourist web site just try www.townname.de

If want anymore info let me know.

Driving alone will be about 6 hours according to www.viamichelin.com . That probably doesn%26#39;t give you much time to stop along the way to do anything except buy your cuckoo clock (possibly Triberg) and eat. The B500 route will allow you to see some of the Black Forest from your car. Hohentwiel by Singen is Germany%26#39;s largest castle ruin, perched atop a former volcano, but climbing it takes a while. The whole of the Lake Constance area is nice, Meersburg is the loveliest town on the lake with Germany%26#39;s oldest castle. You%26#39;ll also be driving by Neuschwanstein Palace by Fuessen. But you could easily take a week making this drive.
