Black Forest
Why the Black Forest?
Find yourselves immersed in traditional German culture within the Black Forest. Sampling the local Black Forest Gateau is an experience not to be missed, whilst a visit to the world’s largest cuckoo clock grants an insight into the past when the region was famous for its wood-carving industry.
Many of our groups enjoy a day trip to Strasbourg in France, home of the European parliament – its historic centre and shops will definitely please the shopaholics amongst your group! The Black Forest area offers a great variety of excursions, from open air museums to exciting white knuckle rides at Europapark – there really is something for everyone in this beautiful region.
