Travel Style & Activity

How would you describe your travel style? (choose as many as you like)

I want to see as much as possible in a limited amount of time. Even rushing through is ok in order to cover everything
There are a few must-dos and must-sees (please explain below). Otherwise I am ok with anything coming up
I prefer to stay flexible and decide on the exact tour outline the day of touring. Then we also know what the weather will be like. Changing plans last-minute is fine with me.
Flexibility is fine, but I feel more comfortable if I know in advance what I will see and do. I prefer a detailed outline of our day before arriving in the Black Forest
I prefer to take it slow. I'd rather only see a few places but take my time exploring them
I want to avoid as much touristy things as possible
I don't mind to add a few touristy spots (e.g. clock area), I am only here once!
Touring like a local is more important than touring like anyone else
There are a few bucket-list items I want to cover, I don't care that they are touristy

Activity level (choose as many as you would like)

Don't like to walk much. Sitting in the car for hours is ok. I prefer a scenic driving tour with a few photo stops
I realize the Black Forest is a large area and there can be a lot of driving involved. My priority is to spend as little time in the car as possible.
would like to walk a little but but 30 minutes is really the max
I would like to include a bit of a walk into my tour, 1 hour of walking is no problem
I would like to do a more serious hike (please explain below what you have in mind)
It is very important to me to spend time outside walking or hiking. Even if the weather is not ideal.

We are easy and can eat anything
Vegetarians, Vegans, Gluten-free or other food restrictions (please explain below)
I would like to taste Black Forest ham
I would like to taste Black Forest cake
Love bread and pretzels
Food in general is very important to me
Other (please explain below)

Lunch

No worries. I will bring my own food and eat during one of the stops
Sandwich it is! We can stop at a bakery or butcher shop and take a long a sandwich, fruits or other foods
Picnic. A picnic would be nice. We can shop for items during our tour and split the costs between all of us.
Sit-down Lunch. I prefer a sit-down meal (which requires 1-1.5 hours) - only possible during an all-day tour. A typical local restaurant is fine as long as the guide can help translate.
I would like the guide to make a lunch arrangement for us where we can be dropped off and picked up again later. Please choose a restaurant where they have an english menu or speak english. The guide does not need to come along for lunch.

Alcohol (please choose as many as you like)

We don't drink alcohol
Some of us drink Wine.
Some of us would like to taste locally distilled liquor (called Schnaps)
Some of us drink Beer
Other (please explain below)

Sights & Attractions

About Cuckoo Clocks

no interest in cuckoo clocks at all, we can completely skip these
I would like to visit a clock shop to purchase an authentic cuckoo clock
I am interested in exploring the Triberg Cuckoo Clock Area (e.g. stopping at one of Worlds Largest Cuckoo clocks), I don't mind that there is a lot of driving involved (see note below)
If visiting the Triberg clock area I am interested in going inside Worlds largest cuckoo clocks to understand the mechanism of the clocks (addtl cost 2 Euros pp)
Must-Do: I want to see a large Cuckoo Clocks from the outside
Maybe: I would like to see one of the large Cuckoo Clocks but we don't have to go out of our way to see one

Please note. Cuckoo clocks for purchase can be found in various parts of the Black Forest. The large clocks are all situated around the town of Triberg in the clock area. It takes about 1-1.5 hours one-way from Freiburg to Triberg. There will be a bit of driving involved if you want to see the clock area.
