The Black Forest and the Rhine Falls were in my bucket list for so long. I was excited to visit these places and I loved the place. Not only did I enjoyed my visit but also loved learning the craft of Titisee. This was a new experience that I had in my life and I cannot forget learning this craft. The best part of the trip was having a black forest cake in the black forest. I would totally recommend you to plan your trip to the Black forest.

Started the journey early in the day so that I can enjoy the beauty of the Black mountains. I was thrilled to visit the largest waterfall in Europe. The best part about this trip was when we learnt the craft of Titisee. An experience to remember for life.

This is nestled right in the heart of the Black Forest and is at a little distance from the Rhine Falls. This village houses the beautiful Titisee lake, made from the melting of a glacier; you could also opt for a tranquil boat ride in the area and then make a beeline for authentic Black Forest cake! And you can end the day trip with a view of the cascading Rhine Falls, which is a sight for sore eyes!

Since it is 7 hours long and involves a border, there is a specific set of things you must carry for this tour:

- Sunglasses
