Baiersbronn
Germany
Baiersbronn, a town in Germany's Black Forest, holds an outsized reputation for haute cuisine — accumulating eight Michelin stars across its restaurants, a concentration that the New York Times once compared favourably to London. Set in the upper Murg Valley and spread across nine villages, it also serves as a northern gateway to the Black Forest National Park, with hiking trails threading through mountain terrain along the river. Reichenbach Priory, a medieval monastery in the village of Klosterreichenbach, adds a historic counterpoint to the food scene.
