The Most Beautiful Waterfalls and the Cuckoo Clock Town
The first day of this route will be a mixture of adrenaline and fascination that you will love.
First you will go to the biggest waterfalls in Europe, whose power and flow will make you vibrate inside. A boat will take you to a platform to feel the water roaring just a few metres away from you.
Nearby there's a town with many extraordinary things: a very peculiar fortification designed by the artist Albrecht Dürer, facades with frescoes and unique windows and a series of fountains that have nothing to envy to those of Bern.
Next, you will visit the world's most famous city for its cuckoo clocks... Do you know it? There you will look out over the highest waterfalls while mischievous squirrels steal your food. There you will see handcrafted clocks unique in the world and the most enchanting wood carved souvenirs you can imagine.
Phew...!! So many things... But just one more thing... You'll sleep in the middle of the forest.... Zzzzzzzzz....

Three Paradises in Just One Day
Day 2, the most paradisiacal day of all. Today you will be in 3 idyllic places.
You will do some hiking around a beautiful lake with breathtaking views. Then, in a splendid spa located in the middle of the mountains, your body and mind will float light and you will disconnect from everything. Massages, healing thermal waters, an ionised salt room, saunas.... The choice is yours! You will renew your energy in an unimaginable way.
Afterwards you will visit the medieval village that seems to have stopped in time, a beautiful and perfectly preserved place with pristine beauty and countless charming corners.
Add to all this, delicious meals in the best places I've ever been, where you'll enjoy yourself so much that you won't want the day to end.

Freiburg Im Breisgau, a Towering Waterfall and a Lake to Be Captain for a Day
Last day of the trip with lots of interesting things to see and remember forever. Are you ready?
You will visit a beautiful city whose imposing cathedral will take your breath away. Everything there looks like something out of a painting: its streets and corners, its ancient gates leading to the walled city, its little Venice, its cobbled streets... You won't know which way to look.
Then a 97-metre high waterfall will surprise you in the middle of a beautiful path of pure and dense green. You will want to spend hours gazing in ecstasy at this wonder of nature.
Later on, you will go sailing on the waters of a large lake, like a real skipper, aboard a small electric boat which, fortunately for everyone, does not require a licence! You will also be able to stroll around the lake, visit the beautiful village square and climb up to a viewpoint from where the views are breathtaking.
As if all this wasn't enough, I suggest you finish the day in a small village, dining in a beautiful medieval restaurant next to a tower that, if you ask me, is surely owned by a witch.
