The Rhine plain and the adjacent Black Forest are among the most popular holiday regions in Germany. Here on the border between France and Germany lies the European capital Strasbourg ( Strasbourg ). Just a few minutes' drive from Strasbourg, we recommend the Strasbourg holiday home "Im Birkenweg" in northern Ortenau. A holiday home quietly located on the edge of the village, with a romantic stream next door and a fantastic balcony with a view over green meadows of the Black Forest. You can also rent bikes here. The Rhine is only 3 km away from the holiday home. On the Rhine dam you drive comfortably along the Rhine meadows to Strasbourg.
Strasbourg , just an hour away from Freudenstadt, welcomes you with narrow medieval streets, a romantic old town and the unique Strasbourg Cathedral (Liebfrauenmünster). When visiting Strasbourg Cathedral, you should definitely take a look at the famous Astronomical Clock. Take a full day to explore Strasbourg.
If your feet are starting to hurt after a long walk through Strasbourg, we recommend finishing off with dinner with traditional tarte flambée and good Alsatian wine. You can get the famous “Tart Flambe” in almost every restaurant in Strasbourg. Or take the opportunity and drive a little further afield. We recommend the Restaurant Burestubel in Pfuhlgrießheim or the Restauran D'Steinmuehl in Lampertheim. If you want to drive directly from the Strasbourg holiday home to eat flammkuchen, you will be in Pfuhlgrießheim in about 30 minutes.
Strasbourg is the seat of numerous European institutions: the Council of Europe, European Parliament, European Court of Human Rights and Eurocorps. Strasbourg is located directly on the Rhine, on the border between France and Germany in the Rhine Valley. Between the Vosges and the Black Forest there is a holiday region that is one of the warmest areas in Germany and is characterized by good wine and good food. Hearty meat dishes as well as fine French cuisine are eaten here. Local specialties in Strasbourg include Surkrut (sauerkraut) and Tarte Flambe (flame cake).
Strasbourg is shaped by the traces of the eventful history between Germany and France. Strasbourg once belonged to France, then again to Germany. Explore the romantic tanners' district of Petite France (Little France), climb the LiebfrauenMünster, stroll through the Münstermarkt or hike in Goethe's footsteps. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe came to Strasbourg in 1770 to complete his law studies. In the nearby Sesenheim, Goethe met Frederike Brion from Paffrerstock.
Strasbourg in Alsace itself offers many beautiful guesthouses and hotels from which you can explore the old town during a comfortable stroll through the city in the evening.
