Breisach on the Rhein with about 14,000 inhabitants is a city on the Upper Rhine and thus on the German-French border, about halfway between Colmar and Freiburg (each about 20 km) and about 60 km north of Basel. It lies close to the Kaiserstuhl. Across the Rhine there is a bridge to Neuf-Brisach on the French side.
The climate at Kaiserstuhl is ideal for viticulture: the Kaiserstuhl is the sunniest and warmest vine area in Germany. At the same time the Kaiserstuhl lies in the rain shadow of the Vosges. In the warmest southwest corner in Ihringen only 600 mm of precipitation falls.
Baden hospitality pure you must not miss: in a tavern with simple dishes and delicious wine from own production, everyone feels well quickly. Whether in the enlarged barn, the rustic winery house or the decorated winvery yard - the hosting of guests is quite different - and this individuality also has its charm.
Cruise offers to the port Breisach / Germany
The story of the Kaiserstuhl dates back to about 60 million years. Overall, there are several sections that are relevant to the development of the Kaiserstuhl of crucial importance: As early as the late Roman era here stood a castle (about 450 AD.). The Alemanni banished the Romans and all subsequent rulers were eager to strategically secure from here the important Rhine. Archaeologists have set free the small remant of a Merovingian tower. On 400 square meters of exhibition space, the museum of local history exhibits items from the Stone Age to the present day. The Romanesque Cathedral of St. Stefan has a late Gothic altarpiece carved by an unknown master with the initials H. L. and murals by Martin Schongauer.
