If you are looking for your next trip, places to go in Europe, I recommend: Alsace. This French region on the border with Germany, inspired the most famous European fairy tales.

I was looking for a place that could literally capture me. That it wasn't a big city. I was looking for a place to get lost, one of those places where you feel like you are in another dimension, in a movie, in a fairy tale. A place that makes you feel light years away from the places you usually frequent. One of those places that go perfectly with winter and cold. A perfect place to celebrate Halloween and to feel the presence and magic of Christmas strong….

Freiburg

Freiburg has a young and sparkling soul. With a medieval and colorful heart…..

Where you travel by bike,…

Where are the brook, one of the hallmarks of the center of Freiburg in Germany. I small channels that line the sidewalks and where the water flows continuously.

This German city is surrounded by lush nature, because it is on the border with the famous Black Forest.

If you decide to visit Freiburg during the Christmas period, don't miss the characteristic Christmas markets, among the most beautiful and popular in all of Germany.

Not to be missed for a stop for lunch or dinner is the Markt Halle, a typical German brewery where you can taste all the traditional German dishes….

Thanks to the dense woods, to the splendid peaks from where you have spectacular views, to lakes dating back to the ice age and valleys romantic, to the ancient typical farms set in the mountains, to crystal clear lakes and typical houses, the Black Forest is a very popular tourist destination.

The Clock Route is an almost circular route that starts and ends in Villingen-Schwenningen, after a journey of 320 kilometers through the most beautiful tourist landscape of the Black Forest and the Baar. The journey follows in the footsteps of Germany's most famous watchmakers leading to locations such as Rottweil, Waldkirch e Titisee.
