We're from the region and needed a place to stay to visit our scattered family. The apartment is great and very conveniently located for us. So, it's a relatively short distance to our relatives. If you know your way around, you can explore a lot from there. There are excellent hiking guides, but Freiburg and Strasbourg aren't far away. The family is very, very friendly and helpful. If you don't want to cook, there are two excellent inns (Linde and 3 Schneeballen) within walking distance.
