Overview

Visit the breathtaking Black Forest region and the Rhine Falls – Europe’s largest waterfall – in one day on a tour from Zurich! The full-day trip starts with a visit to Titisee-Neustadt, a pretty town in the heart of Germany's Black Forest. Admire its star attraction, Lake Titisee, and visit the locally renowned Drubb watchmaker to see traditional German cuckoo clocks being made. Before returning to Zurich, stop at Rhine Falls to watch the waters of the Rhine River crashing down a 75-foot (23-meter) drop.

Meeting points

The Sihlquai bus station is located 200 meters behind Zurich main station (HB). IMPORTANT: If you are using GPS, please enter 'Limmatstrasse 4, 8005 Zürich'. At the bus station there is a wooden/green building where we have a check-in counter marked 'Meier Tours - Gray Line Sightseeing’.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

Zurich

Check in for your tour at the bus parking Sihlquai. Settle aboard your luxury coach, departing central Zurich for the drive north to southern Germany.
Schluchsee (Pass By)

The drive lasts just over 1.5 hours, so sit back, relax and take in the postcard-perfect scenery. Pass by Lake Schluchsee, the lush green hills and woods of the Black Forest.
Titisee-Neustadt

Stop for roughly 2 hours in the picturesque town of Titisee-Neustadt, situated on the edge of Lake Titisee in the heart of the Black Forest. One of the area’s famous exports is German cuckoo clocks, so head inside Drubba – a prestigious clock producer – to see how these traditional clocks are made. Then, spend the rest of your time in the town at leisure; stroll around Lake Titisee independently, enjoy a boat ride or perhaps visit a café to sample the region’s legendary Black Forest Gateau (activities and food at your own expense). The rich cake -- also known as Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte -- is constructed as a chocolate cake, layered with cherries, whipped cream and lashings of cherry brandy.

2 hours
Lenzkirch (Pass By)

Meet your guide and travel south through the impressive spruce forests of Lenzkirch, working your way back into Switzerland.
Rhine Falls

Head into the Upper Rhine region to stop at Rhine Falls – Europe’s largest waterfalls – and enjoy a break of roughly 45 minutes. Gaze at the water as it crashes down a drop of 75 feet (23 meters), pose for photos, and stroll around admiring the scenery. (or take an optional boat ride)

50 minutes
N/A (Pass By)

Return back to Zurich and finish your tour in the city center in the evening.

It was wonderful

Hans was a wonderful guide. He was very informative, kind, and friendly. The bus driver was great too! The cuckoo clock experience was so neat and the lake and view were spectacular. Thank you

A must do

The boat ride on Rhine Falls was great. Though I found the cuckoo clocks to be very expensive, the experience of visiting the Black Forest region was awesome

Amazing experience of Rhine and Black forest village

Published on Oct, 2024

The Black forest and Rhine falls day trip from Zurich was an amazing experience. First of all, the tour operator Grey Line's kiosk was easy to locate as it was right at the beginning of the bus parking lot. The bus was good as well, so we didn't feel much tired by the end of the day. The tour guide Xia was knowledge as she explained the history and significance of both Rhine falls and the black forest village Titisee. Now coming to these 2 locations - The Rhine offers a good boating experience (separately payable additional) and gives you good photo locations. Thankfully the sky was clear on the day of our trip. The black forest village was heavenly. Titisee lake is so serene and picturesque. Toy also get a presentation about the history of cuckoo clocks that originated in that part of the world. We ended up buying a cuckoo clock as well. And we also tried the authentic black forest cake. Additional benefit - what you see on both sides of the road throughout the 2 hour journey to black forest village, is greenery and more greenery. Overall it was a day well spent. Thanks to Grey Line's tour operator for that amazing experience. PS - Do not buy any souvenirs from Rhine falls as you will find the same stuff in Titisee village (Germany), 20% cheaper.

Nice day trip

The small town we walked through was great. Really cute shops and the food was amazing. It rained the day we went but it was still a great trip. Our guide was very nice and gave details about what we were driving by.
