Tuesday We depart early in the morning and travel to Dover for our ferry to Calais. Once in France we have an overnight stay at the Altia Hotel, Lille.
Wednesday Our journey takes us across France and into Germany where we stay overnight at the Mercure Hotel Saarbrucken Sud.
Thursday We travel through Germany and into its beautiful Bavarian region where we settle into the Hohenauer Hof Hotel and enjoy a welcome drink of Schnapps.
Friday Today we visit Passau, known as the “city of three rivers” due to its position as the point at which the three rivers of the Danube, Inn and Ilz meet. The town has a beautiful Italian flair and a host of historic attractions. There will be time to take a cruise or explore the Baroque Old Town by foot. Main attractions include St Stephen’s Cathedral, home to the largest organ in the world and the 13th century Veste Oberhaus Fortress.
Saturday Our day begins with a unique opportunity to ‘tiptoe through the treetops’ as we visit the Bavarian Forest Treetop Walk. At less than a mile long this gently sloping structure raises to twenty five metres high and gives an truly unforgettable experience with beautiful views. After this our coach will take us on a scenic journey through the Bavarian Forest to the Joska World of Crystal, home of the glass maker where we can see the art taking shape in the skilful hands of the local crafts people.
Sunday The attractions today are more local as we embark on a visit to a nearby husky farm for a guided tour and a hot drink. During the day we also enjoy a horse drawn carriage and sleigh ride followed by a visit to a ski hut for sandwiches and live music. To finish off the day we have a torch lit walk with mulled wine.
