Staying in Strasbourg

The best-served starting point: small-group and private day trips that climb the High Road and stop at the Mummelsee, plus the southern Black Forest loop.

The Berghotel Mummelsee reflected in the dark water of the lake Small-group day trip from US$245
🕒 8 hours 📍 From Strasbourg ⭐ 4.8 (100)

From Strasbourg: Black Forest and Baden-Baden Day Trip

  • Viewpoints over the Rhine valley on the Black Forest High Road
  • Free time and lunch at the Mummelsee

From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip with Lake Mummelsee

Your own vehicle for up to four people and a relaxed pace: Baden-Baden in the morning, the Black Forest High Road at midday, lunch and Black Forest cake at the Mummelsee, then down the Baden wine route to the flower-hung village of Sasbachwalden. An audio guide in English, French or Spanish fills in the stories.

From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip to Freiburg, Titisee & Triberg

The classic southern Black Forest loop in a single, well-paced day. It does not visit the Mummelsee, but it is the best way to add the region’s other icons — Titisee, the Triberg waterfalls and the cuckoo-clock makers — to a trip based in Strasbourg or the Rhine valley.

  • Triberg — waterfalls and cuckoo-clock craft

Staying in Baden-Baden or the Black Forest

  • Pickup available from Heidelberg or Baden-Baden
  • Small group, winter season only

Booking questions

Frequently asked questions

Which tours actually stop at the Mummelsee?

The two Strasbourg day trips at the top of our list both include a stop at the lake on the Black Forest High Road. Private tours from Baden-Baden and Frankfurt can include it on request — ask when you book.

Can I visit the Mummelsee without a car?

Yes. Regional buses reach the lake from Achern station and along the High Road, and the Strasbourg day trips drive you there. See our getting here guide.

Are private tours worth it?

For two to six people, often yes: the price is per group, the pace is yours, and you can add the Hornisgrinde, Allerheiligen or a wine village that group tours skip.

What is included in the price?

Day trips include transport and a guide or audio guide; some include hotel pickup. Food, drinks, pedal boats and spa entry are usually extra — each listing spells it out.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Most listings offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, and many let you reserve now and pay later. The exact terms are shown on each tour page before you confirm.
