We want to spend 4-5 days in the southern corner of Germany (Switzerland/France/Germany intersection) taking day trips to the Black Forest, Switzerland, possibly Colmar. Suggestions for a B&B or mid priced pleasant hotel will be greatly appreciated. Harold
A couple of years ago, we stayed in Gengenbach in the Black Forest at the Sonne Hotel. Very nice, reasonably priced rooms in the center of this wonderful town. http://www.sonne-gengenbach.de/start.php We've also stayed in the lovely little town of Staufen in Breisgau at the zum Hirschen, also right in the center of town. http://www.hirschen-staufen.de/index-en.html
We stayed at Berggasthof-Schlussel this past spring and thourghly enjoyed our stay. It is in the small village of Pfaffenberg on a steep hillside overlooking the valley. There are no services in the village, but there are in the valley about 4 km away. The owner Monica speaks excellent English and was a great hostess. The nearest large city is Lorrach and Basel is next door. Here's a link http://www.berggasthof-schluessel.de/ Here is a link to my blog and the entry about our stay: http://tinyurl.com/4gc8rsp
