To the tickets
The tri-border region in southwest Germany is setting new standards for summer holidays in 2026.
Current figures from the tourism industry speak for themselves. Germany is experiencing record overnight stays. More than a third of all travelers are consciously choosing to vacation within their own country. Those who plan their summer vacation for 2026 in good time will not only secure availability but also access to regions that have long since surpassed their international competitors in terms of quality and range of experiences.
The border region between the Black Forest, Kaiserstuhl, and Breisgau is one of the most sophisticated destinations for discerning travelers. Here, where Germany, France, and Switzerland meet, lies a holiday landscape that surprises even seasoned travelers.
Microclimate and biodiversity: The Kaiserstuhl as a geological phenomenon
The Kaiserstuhl is no ordinary low mountain range – it's an extinct volcano with a microclimate that generates temperatures up to 5 degrees Celsius above the regional average. This unique climate makes it the warmest place in Germany and creates ideal living conditions for over 30 orchid species and the rare European green lizard. Terraced vineyards and loess hollow ways complete this extraordinary natural experience.
Experience diversity in a confined space in the border region of three countries
Those booking a hotel in Umkirch am Kaiserstuhl can reach Freiburg in 20 minutes, Lake Titisee in 45 minutes, and Basel or Colmar in an hour. Lake Constance is a 90-minute drive away, and Europa-Park Rust is 35 minutes away. This makes the region around the hotel am Kaiserstuhl the ideal starting point for unforgettable day trips. These include challenging mountain bike trails, guided wine hikes, and nature excursions with views stretching as far as the Vosges Mountains.
Hotel Landhaus Blum and Hotel Loft Freiburg - concepts for contemporary holiday needs
Each hayloft hotel in Umkirch has been specifically designed for contemporary lifestyles. The Hotel Landhaus Blum opened its doors in 2012, and since 2019, guests have been able to check in at the Hotel Loft Freiburg. Here, elements of traditional Black Forest architecture meet modern comfort: bright, solid wood interiors, underfloor heating, private kitchenettes for optimal flexibility, and restaurants, bars, bathtubs, and saunas leave little to be desired. Spacious conference rooms are available for guests whose employers value meetings and conferences in an inspiring environment.

Possible holiday scenarios at a hotel in the Black Forest
A typical day on holiday might look like this: a canoe trip on the Old Rhine near Breisach in the morning, Alsatian tarte flambée in a wine village for lunch, a hike through the Ravenna Gorge in the afternoon, and ending the day in the hotel bar with regional wines. Or: riding roller coasters at Europa-Park in the morning, relaxing in the hotel sauna in the afternoon, and a private party in our event spaces in the evening.
From the hotel to the Black Forest and on to Freiburg
The region offers excursion destinations for all age groups. While children observe wildlife in Steinwasen Park, parents can enjoy panoramic views of the Black Forest. The Mundenhof in Freiburg combines a zoo with environmental education. It is free to enter and yet features high-quality curated exhibits.
