Breisach, European City on Rhine River, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Breisach rises on a hill between the Black Forest and Vosges Mountains, with the Rhine River flowing along its western edge at 191 meters elevation.
The settlement evolved from a Celtic prince's seat to a Roman auxiliary castle named Mons Brisiacus, later becoming a strategic stronghold during the Thirty Years' War.
The St. Stephansmünster cathedral, constructed between the 12th and 15th centuries, contains late Gothic altars and artworks by painter Martin Schongauer.
The town maintains an extensive 190-kilometer network of cycling paths connecting to Freiburg, the Black Forest, Alsace region, and Switzerland.
Europe's largest wine cooperative, Badischer Winzerkeller, stores its products in medieval underground cellars spanning multiple levels beneath the city.
