More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning departure from Zurich puts you on a highway that quickly trades city sidewalks for the thick green of the Black Forest and the thunder of the Rhine Falls. The air tightens with the scent of damp wood and fresh lake spray as the tour's private vehicle eases onto country roads, and the falls announce themselves before you see them: a braided river daring you closer with a low, constant roar.
