Breisach river cruises, Germany

What's great about Breisach river cruises?

The German town of Breisach sits on a vineyard-tangled edge of the Rhine. Its buildings, each with a red roof, stretch up to the Gothic turrets of St Stephen’s Church – the town’s pièce de résistance. Breisach’s particularly popular with fans of wine and history. From its authentic Medieval appearance and quaint cobbled streets, you’d never know that 85% of Breisach was flattened during World War Two and then later restored. And the Kaiserstuhl hills, 20 minutes’ drive north, are known for producing some of Germany's finest reds. The Black Forest’s also an hour’s drive away. These densely packed woods bring to mind fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, and are a great place for keen walkers to explore.
