Breisach is located directly on the Rhine and thus on the French border and very close to the Kaiserstuhl. Visible from afar is the castle hill with the Breisacher Münster from the 13th century. Many other historic buildings, an outdoor stage and museums make a visit worthwhile. In addition, you will find in Breisach the Baden Winzerkeller, Europe's largest producer winery.
