We will be visiting Freiburg for the third time in late December. Have been to Baden-Baden, Strasbourg and Colmar. Any recommendations for day trips by train from Frieburg?? Thanks!

Staufen is a really charming little town. I highly recommend it.
Basel for its museums.
I second Staufen. We were there in September. A few of our photos:

You can take the train through the Höllental up into the Black Forest. There will be snow in late December, especially at the Feldberg (which is a ski area). You may leave the train in Titisee - which is a lively town with a lake, shops, restaurants, hotels etc. - or in quieter Schluchsee. Schluchsee is charming, with an interesting church, a lake (you can hike along the shore), restaurants, typical Black Forest farmhouses and nice scenery. Or you leave in Bärental and take the bus up to the Feldberg.
Here a few pictures of Black Forest in winter:

The train to Schluchseee takes 1:02 and it departs from Freiburg every hour at 8:10, 9:10...
Gengenbach in the Kinzig valley (via Offenburg)
Thank you all for your replies! I had forgotten Basel was a possibility and I have not been to Staufen. Staufen looks charming.
We have been to Titisee and Munstertal.
I need to look up Gengenbach, now!

We stayed in Gengenbach for 3 days back in 2006 and found it to be lovely. Don't know if it's as easy to get to as some of the other places, but it's definitely a great place to spend some time.

Thanks quokka and BettyK; Gengenbach looks so charming!
Gengenbach is connected to Offenburg by the Ortenau S-Bahn, this means hourly local trains. Offenburg is on the main route. Connections on the already quoted www.bahn.de
Good to know, quokka!
