- Enjoy regional cheese and wine in Ribeauville.
- Ride a wild roller coaster in Europa Park.
- Dare with a zip line in the middle of the forest at TIPIPARK.
This is undoubtedly a dream trip to do with children or with friends, a trip you will remember for a lifetime.
It´s only a three days ride, but you will experience so many emotions that it´ll seem like a long vacation.
What will we do? Well... We´ll walk by waterfalls, visit parks full of curiosities, wander through cities taken out from fairy tales, play with toys from another centuries and so much more!! We´ll cross the border to go to a huge amusement park in Rust, Germany. Then the most emblematic city of the Black Forest will welcome us among its canals, just like being in Venice: Freiburg im Breisgau, here we go!
But still, there´s more!! We´ll return to France to visit one of the most beautiful and unknown cities of Alsace and we´ll do it on a train! Then we´ll have a picnic in a forest that hides children´s playgrounds and adventures. Later on, we will wander through the territory of fairies and elves in a forest with fabulous constructions made of stone.
Please note that, although this route can be done all year round, it has many points of interest that are in the open air, so it´s not convenient to do it in the colder months. It is also important to make reservations in hotels and attractions in advance. Please note that two recommended places in Colmar are closed on Tuesdays (the Toy Museum and the Café La Artemise ).
And now... let´s have fun!!

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.

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.
