The Black Forest & Medieval Village of Colmar

(Coming Soon!)

Thursday - The Black Forest & Medieval Village of Colmar

In the morning we are Exploring the dense, lofty fir forests of Germany’s Schwarzwald, the fabled Black Forest. Meet your guide at your ship, then embark on a scenic motorcoach excursion through a mythical land of cuckoo clocks, glassblowing, and timeless fairy tales. I can only hope someone doesn’t ship home a cuckoo clock.

In the afternoon we are going to the charming medieval lanes and squares of Colmar and exploring its “Little Venice” quarter. With its 9th-century streets, 13th-century Gothic churches, and original Old Town, Colmar seems torn from a storybook. The city overflows with intact Alsatian homes and a colorful mix of French and German Renaissance architecture.
