Breisach on the Rhine

Breisach on the Rhine

Breisach am Rhein, located directly on the German-French border, is an ideal stop or starting point for a delightful Cabriolet tour along the Baden Wine Route. The city sits on a hill above the Rhine and offers stunning views over the Rhine plain to the Vosges mountains. Those traveling in a Cabriolet will particularly appreciate the drive through the surrounding vineyards and the proximity to France. Here, Baden wine, cultural diversity, and impressive nature combine to create a memorable overall experience.

Old Town Charm and the Cathedral High Above the Rhine

The magnificent St. Stephen's Cathedral can be seen from afar, towering over the rooftops of Breisach. From the cathedral square, a fantastic view of the Rhine and the surrounding landscapes unfolds – an ideal spot for a short break during the trip. In the Old Town itself, winding alleys, historic buildings, and cozy cafés invite visitors to stroll around. It is particularly lovely to walk along the Rhine or take a short trip to Alsace via the small ferry.

Wine Route Meets Rhine Landscape – Pure Cabriolet Enjoyment

Around Breisach, some of the most famous vineyards of Baden extend. Driving a Cabriolet along the Baden Wine Route toward Kaiserstuhl or Tuniberg not only offers spectacular panoramas but also winding roads through gentle vineyard slopes. The region is known for its fresh white wines, especially the Pinot Gris, which thrives particularly well here. Numerous wineries, wine taverns, and wine festivals invite visitors to discover the regional diversity – ideally combined with a pleasant ride with the top down.

Between France and the Black Forest – A Place with Special Flair

Breisach is not only picturesque but also a culturally exciting place. The German-French history is ever-present and is also reflected in the gastronomy – Flammkuchen, Baden specialties, and Alsatian wines charmingly coexist. The combination of Rhine romance, wine culture, and international flair makes Breisach a worthwhile destination for a relaxed Cabriolet tour in southern Baden.
