In summer months a boat trip can be taken on the lake.

Europe’s second largest theme park is split into thirteen different ‘European countries’ with 100 rides and spectacular shows, complimenting scientific, historical and geographical exhibits. During the Advent period, Europapark is transformed into a sparkling wonderland with a Christmas Market, ice-rink, bobsleighs, the Magic Parade of Lights and many special winter attractions.

Europa Parks latest attraction is a new giant indoor water-world – Rulantica  – which is open daily until 10.00 pm.

The village of Schonach is in the heart of the Black Forest and well known for its beautiful hiking trails and winter sports. It’s also the home of the world’s largest cuckoo clock, weighing in at nearly six tonnes and over 4m in height. Your students will have the chance to explore inside the clock too and purchase a mini model to take home.

9 Triberg Waterfalls

Among the highest waterfalls in Germany and certainly one of the most magical locations – the Gutach River plunges over seven major steps into a plunge pool 163m below. The pathways leading to the site are rich in flora and fauna typical to the region.

10 Schauinsland Cable Car

We think this is the best way to reach the summit of Schauinsland Mountain. It’s Germany’s longest two-way cable car system and the ride to the top of the 1284m high peak is always one of the highlights of our trips to Freiburg. The route gives panoramic views of the Black Forest, Rhine Valley and on a clear day, the Swiss Alps. Photo © Ipab.

11 Aquafun Water Park

We never miss a chance to visit the outdoor adventure pools in Schluchseewerk. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of tours and rehearsals. Students of all ages find fun on the water slides, sunbathing decks and playing beach games like volleyball and polo.

12 The Blackforest Village & Hofgut Sternen

The Black Forest Village offers students the opportunity to experience local arts and crafts. See a short demonstration of how local cuckoo clocks are made, while glassblowers will show off their technical skill in the old fashioned way.
