You will, however, pass through Baden-Baden before taking the famous Black Forest High Road (B500).ī500 is known to be one of the most scenic highways in Germany. On this day, driving the B500 and stopping along the way to cover the amazing forests, waterfalls and romantic towns will take up your time. While you can stop at Baden-Baden on day 1 of your 3 days in Black Forest, I would recommend to keep it for the last day instead, when you are returning to Frankfurt. Old Bridge Heidelberg from across the riverĪnother 1-hour drive from Heidelberg is the spa town of Baden-Baden. Here’s where you will find cobbled stone pedestrian streets lined with several historical landmarks, patio cafes and a laidback vibe. You can easily spend 2 hours absorbing the fascinating history of this stunning town, starting from grabbing a coffee and enjoying the atmosphere at the old town or Altstadt that rests in the shadows of the castle on the hill. A town that was magically protected against the Second World War bombings, if you are a fan of Baroque architecture and Renaissance castles, you cannot miss Heidelberg! I’m a sucker for forts and palaces and Germany has some of the most fairy tale ones. On our 3 days in Black Forest itinerary, our first stop was Heidelberg (1 hour drive from Frankfurt). Suggested hotel to stay in Frankfurt: Flemings Express Hotel Frankfurt Enjoy a glass of Apfelwein (apple wine) in Sachsenhausen.Walk around the financial district: take a picture with the giant Euro sign.Frankfurt Cathedral & Paulskirche: stunning medieval architecture.Cross the famous Eiserner Steg bridge and enjoy unparallel views of the city’s skyline.Römerberg: Best place to start your day, in the heart of the Old Town, between the colorful half-timbered houses.Here’s how you can spend Day 0 at Frankfurt: My itinerary for 3 days in Black Forest starts from Frankfurt, which is where we landed and spend the evening before we set out to explore.īlack Forest is best visited from Frankfurt and while using public transportation is an option, there’s nothing that can match with renting a car and driving for the next 3 days in Black Forest. Not only can you experience the exhilaration of driving at 200 kmph+ speeds, but also the joy of meandering through rolling green wilderness & the flexibility of stopping to explore some of the prettiest forest towns or vineyards the country has to offer. The best way to explore the vast plethora of natural wonders & vibrant towns in Black Forest is by road, and it’s a known fact that driving in Germany is an absolute pleasure for anyone. Yet, I have learned the art of fitting the best of everything in a short span of time, which is why I’ve crafted this itinerary for the perfect 3 days in Black Forest, Germany.
Known for its association with Brothers Grimm fairy tales, evergreen enchanted forests, charming villages, and of course, the delicious dessert which is the namesake of this area in southwest Germany, Black Forest lies right next to Frankfurt and is a haven for nature lovers, wine enthusiasts and fairy tale lovers! Although one might spend as much as a week with a relaxing itinerary, with the limited amount of time that we had on hand, we could spare only 3 days in Black Forest, with a rushed itinerary and not enough time to explore everything that we would have liked to.
