Question

I will be travelling through europe in oct/nov. will take a train frm frankfurt at 6 am and get to Freidburg by 9 am...is the day sufficient to see black forest. want to proceed to Basel the next morning

Answer 1

You can see at least a part of the Black Forest. I'd recommend spending the day in Freiburg and also taking the cablecar to nearby mountain "Schauinsland". On a clear day you'll have a marvellous view over Black Forest, across Rhine rift valley to Alsace, and maybe even to the Alps.

Answer 2

I was born and raised in Freiburg and used to live in Frankfurt am Main for the last 16 years. I often took the car and drove down to Freiburg to see my family and drove back. It is around 300 km to go there.

If you go by train and spend the night there it is even better, because you have more time.

If I were you I would catch another train from Freiburg and go  to Hinterzarten, Titisee and maybe see the Feldberg, which is the highest mountain in the Schwarzwald. Or as already suggested see the Schauinsland.

Have fun over there!!!

Answer 3

Shouldn't be a problem, depends on how you are wanting to travel .  Friedberg is quite near to Strasbourg, so you could drive through the black forest and over the boarder, and then move on to Basil the next day.

Answer 4

I assume you mean FREIBURG, in the Breisgau.

Yes, you will have plenty of time.

Freiburg already is located in the Black forest, close to the French and Swiss Borders.

Freiburg itself has a lot to offer, I would suggest to take one of the guided City Tours.

I found a website for you that maybe helpful (in English):
