A guided city tour Breisach will allow you to discover the pearl of the Upper Rhine Valley. Breisach is located about 25 km from Freiburg and in view of the Black Forest and Vosges mountains. It is a small town on the river Rhine, which forms the border between Germany and France. It has more than 1650 years of history. Although Breisach was destroyed several times during its history, it has preserved much of its historic old town. During your tour of Breisach, your professional, English-speaking guide will explore with you not only the Cathedral Hill, but also parts of the modern city.
These days Breisach is a charming little town. This is in stark contrast to most of its long history. Breisach is located on the “Münsterberg” rock on the banks of the Rhine and has changed hands many times. The Upper Rhine Valley was home to Celts, Romans, Germans and French to name a few. They all left their mark on this small town. On a tour of Breisach, you can learn about its history and discover the main attractions. From the Münsterberg, you can not only enjoy the view of the Vosges, the Kaiserstuhl and the Black Forest, but, led by your own guide, learn and understand what you see.
The highlight of a Guided City Tour Breisach is the Catholic parish church of Breisach, St Stephans Minster. It is the home of the murals of Martin Schongauer, damaged by many wars; the beautifully designed ceiling wall to separate clergy and parishioners is magnificent, as is the 16th-century carved altar.
