Arrival in the Murg Valley
A deliberately short travel day, so you arrive in the afternoon and can set up camp in peace.
This is where your trip begins. Load up the motorhome and drive gently into the northern Black Forest, so nobody gets restless on the first travel day.
A quietly located campsite in the Murg Valley surrounded by meadows and forest, ideal for a relaxed first afternoon. The kids have plenty of room to run around, and you're close to the walking trails around Baiersbronn.

Panoramic road and mountain lake
Altitude: it's cooler at Mummelsee even in summer, so pack a light jacket.
The famous high-altitude road runs across plateaus and through dark pine forest with far-reaching views into the Rhine Valley. Several viewpoints invite short stops, perfect for letting the kids stretch their legs.
The legendary mountain lake below the Hornisgrinde can be circled on a flat loop trail in around half an hour. Pedal boats, a large motorhome car park and a place to grab a bite make this an easy stop.
Germany's best-known waterfalls
The climb up to the waterfalls has plenty of steps, so sturdy footwear helps.
Large motorhome: in Triberg there are designated car parks at the edge of town — don't attempt the narrow old-town lanes.
The Gutach river cascades down around 163 metres over seven steps, making it one of the highest waterfalls in Germany. Well-secured paths with bridges and walkways lead close to the roaring water, and you can often feed the friendly squirrels.
A family-friendly terraced site near Triberg with a playground and swimming spot. After the walk to the waterfalls there's plenty of time to rest and let the kids run around.

Arriving at the swimming lake
Titisee gets very busy in summer; with the large motorhome, use the signposted car parks at the edge of town.
The crystal-clear Titisee is one of the loveliest swimming lakes in the High Black Forest, pleasantly warm and shallow for swimming in summer. The lakeside bathing area has lawns for lying out, pedal boats and a play area right on the shore.
A well-kept campsite between Titisee and Hinterzarten, quietly situated by the forest with a playground and children's activities. From here you'll comfortably explore the High Black Forest over the coming days.

The Black Forest's highest peak
It's windy and noticeably cooler up top, so bring warm clothing.
Take the cable car to shorten the walk if the kids have had enough.
At 1,493 metres, the Feldberg is the highest mountain in the Black Forest and offers sweeping views as far as the Alps. From the Haus der Natur, the family-friendly Feldberg-Steig leads across open summits, and the Feldbergbahn cable car helps with the climb when little legs get tired.
Waterfall walk and relaxation
A deliberately quiet day with a short walk and a free afternoon.
The Menzenschwander Alb rushes down through a rugged gorge in several cascades. The shady loop trail is well maintained and, with its walkways and bridges, pleasant for families to walk.
The sunny city on the edge of the Black Forest
Large motorhome: don't drive into the old town. The tram runs directly from Camping Hirzberg into the centre.
Freiburg is considered one of the warmest cities in Germany, so bring water bottles and sun protection.
Freiburg's medieval old town, with its Gothic Münster, winding lanes and trickling Bächle streams, is made for strolling. Kids love following the cool Bächle, and the climb up the Münster tower rewards you with a far-reaching view.

Gorge walk and drive to the theme park
Ravenna Gorge can be damp and slippery, so wear sturdy footwear.
The Ravennaschlucht car park has limited space; arrive early or use the hiking bus.
The wonderfully wild Ravenna Gorge follows a bubbling stream past several small waterfalls, passing beneath the impressive railway viaduct. A varied walking trail with steps and bridges that gives children plenty to discover.
A quiet campsite on the Rhine plain, just a short drive from Europa-Park. From here you'll set off early the next morning for a relaxed big day at the theme park.

A whole day at the theme park
Get to the park early to enjoy the most popular rides without long queues.
Bring plenty of drinks and sun protection, and plan enough breaks on hot days.
Germany's largest theme park offers rides for every age across lovingly designed European-themed areas. There's plenty for six- and nine-year-olds, with family attractions, shows and children's areas, while the grown-ups can take on the roller coasters.
Booking ahead is often cheaper here
The park's own campsite is within walking distance of the entrance, so you can easily head back in the evening. After the long day you can simply walk back and won't need to move the motorhome.

Journey home with a swimming stop
The return drive is the longest leg of the trip; a swimming stop along the way makes it more manageable for the kids.
Driving times are slightly above the usual daily amount, but nicely broken up by the stop.
One last swimming stop at the peaceful reservoir in the Welzheimer Wald breaks up the return journey and rounds off the water-themed trip. Shallow shores and lawns are ideal for a picnic lunch.
Return to your starting point. This is where the Black Forest loop ends, after ten days full of waterfalls, swimming lakes and rides.
