Germany Discovery

The Rhine, the cathedral city, then Germany's sunniest corner. Cologne and Düsseldorf first, then one long drive south to Freiburg at the edge of the Black Forest.

The shape of the trip

  1. Outbound · 6h 45m

    Harwich – Hook of Holland — overnight sailing, cabin included

  2. 3h 35m drive from Hook of Holland

    Cologne

    2 nights · Rheinblick Hotel

    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.

  3. 30m drive from Cologne

    Düsseldorf

    2 nights · MedienHafen Rooms

    Half old town, half architecture showcase. The Rhine promenade is where the city goes at the end of the day, and the MedienHafen is where it shows off.

  4. 5h 45m drive from Düsseldorf

    Freiburg

    3 nights · Altstadt Rooms

    A university town at the edge of the forest where the streets run with water channels and the wine comes from the hills behind. Good base for the southern Schwarzwald.

  5. Return · Harwich – Hook of Holland

    10h drive to the port
