The Family Adventure

Eight nights with the children: a canal city to start, a cabin on the lake with a theme park up the road, then two days of rides near Cologne before the drive home.

The shape of the trip

  1. Outbound · 1h 30m

    Dover – Calais

  2. 1h 35m drive from Calais

    Bruges

    2 nights · Minnewater Apartments

    A city that rewards an early start: bell towers, still water and waffle steam on cobbles that stay empty until the coaches arrive. Park the car on the edge and walk the rest.

  3. 7h 45m drive from Bruges

    The Black Forest

    4 nights · Titisee Lakeside Cabins

    Forest roads that fold into one another, thermal towns, and the kind of quiet you only find an hour off the motorway. Bring walking shoes.

  4. 5h 05m drive from The Black Forest

    Cologne

    2 nights · Belgisches Viertel Flats

    The Dom dominates everything, and rightly so. But Cologne is also a river city: promenade walks, Kölsch in small glasses, and a chocolate museum the children will remember.

  5. Return · Dover – Calais

    6h 10m drive to the port
