Unknown Magical Places: A Colorful Village in Alsace and Two Unique Super Fun Parks.
The trip ends today with a day full of magic and where fun will be the main protagonist.
First you will visit the magical town of Ribeauville, in Alsace. In this beautiful town you´ll taste local wines, ride a little train and fall in love with its surroundings.
Then you´ll have a picnic in a park full of games and dreamy green spaces: Tipipark.
(This park has extended opening hours in July and August but reduced opening hours during the remaining months of the year. No problem with that, read below the link with the information and you will see that there is another park nearby, just as great, to have a picnic).
And finally we will go to a hidden forest, worthy of a fantasy movie set: the Park of the Rocks, in the beautiful village of Bourmont.

If you have arrived on a day when the park is closed, don´t worry, there´s another option to continue with the plan of having a picnic in a dreamlike environment, the Parc Richard Pouille (It´s the next stop). The idea is that you choose one place or another to enjoy a picnic afternoon for about 2 hours. If the TipiPark is open, you can skip the next point in the route. The time to spend in each place is set only in order to cover the entire proposed time (2 hours) while displaying both possible picnic areas.
