Nestled in the southwestern corner of Germany, Breisach is just a proverbial stone's throw from neighboring Switzerland and France along the beautiful Rhine River. Spend a day enjoying the charms of Breisach, which survived WWII well and still preserves much of its 16th-century design and atmosphere. With excellent places to hike around the city for active explorers, Breisach also offers opportunities for cycling through the Rheinau woods, visiting nearby Freiburg, or taking a walking tour of the Riesling-producing town of Riquewihr. Breisach is featured on many cruises between Basel, Switzerland, and Amsterdam and cruises frequently stop in the Rhine River port of Strasbourg, France.
