Why We Recommend It
This is a great addition to a Europa-Park or Alsace holiday because it gives you a completely different side of the region. Instead of another theme-park day, spend time among forests, lakes and mountain villages while discovering the traditions that make the Black Forest distinctive.
The itinerary can be tailored around your family's interests, whether you want more time by Lake Titisee, a deeper look at cuckoo-clock craftsmanship, scenic mountain viewpoints or an added adventure such as the Hasenhorn Coaster.
