Driving from Lucerne to Freiburg

Hi, We are spending a day driving from Lucerne Switzerland to Freiburg Germany. We will have already visited Zurich. Any recommendations for places to stop and see along the way? We don't want to add too much extra driving to our day. Thanks!

You can try Mainau Island on lake Constance, if it is not too far (adds about 2 hours).

Just a few (3 to 5?) km west of Hinterzarten is the Ravenna Gorge. We enjoyed a 30 or 45 minute walk along a trail through there on our way from the more central Black Forest into Freiburg. Not too many folks on the trails … there are quite a few trails through the gorge area. See komoot trail maps Ravenna Gorge

Between the parking area and the trail, there’s a hotel, gift shop with many cuckoo clocks and facilities if you need a WC. As we returned from our hike, we encountered a Viking Cruise tour group at the gift shop for a tour of the clocks.
