Lush forests and pastures

The Black Forest lies in the south west corner of Germany, bordering both France and Switzerland. It is an area of lush forests and pastures, clear deep lakes and rolling hills, making it one of Germany’s most popular holiday centres. The region is also famous for its local crafts such as cuckoo clocks, glass blowing and the mouthwatering cake. You can still see these all of these being made in the traditional way.

Concerts

The area is suitable for all music group types, from youth orchestras to sacred choirs.

There is a wealth of spa resorts across the Black Forest, where well-equipped halls as well as beautiful pavilions are available for our groups. These include Bad Peterstal, Bad Krozingen and the chic town of Baden-Baden, where there are regular concert series attracting large audiences. Many places of worship enthusiastically welcome choirs; Strasbourg (just over the French border) and Freiburg cathedrals accept our sacred choirs to sing Mass, while a number of churches enjoy our groups’ recitals. For groups with an ‘entertainment’ repertoire, a concert in the region’s theme park, Europapark, is recommended.
