You better start planning your summer vacation on time, especially if you have to travel during the school holidays. Beach holidays are among the most popular ones, whereas my favorite vacation destination was Austria when I was younger. I liked the mixture of hiking tours and days spent at mountain lakes. One or the other highlights like a glacial cave or salt mine kept us children busy 😉 I still enjoy hiking today. I love being in the mountains, the silence, the greenery, the cowbells, the fresh air, rushing streams. Learn more about the best destinations and activities for the whole family in our newest post!

Between rocks and sandy beach

How about an outdoor family holiday in Mediterranean climate? A pleasant mix of Mediterranean flair and alpine terrain can be found in Liguria. The Relais del Maro welcomes your entire family in the individual apartments, for example in the two-storey, stylish apartment N^o.3 at Casa Madre. The place accommodates four persons overlooking the river and the church tower of Borgomaro. The landscape of Liguria is characterized by the Alpine foothills and therefore perfect for easy hikes. At the same time, the Ligurian Sea is not far from Relais del Maro. So, if you’re looking for a vacation combining outdoor activities and relaxing days by the sea, you’ve found the right place!

Adventures in a spa town

The Black Forest is known for its impressive and unspoiled nature. In Bad Herrenalb, for example, you can find a large playground for small children or possibilities to go horseback riding nearby. The Wiesenhof, home to Icelandic horses, focuses on a holistic approach to people, horses, and nature. The spa town is not only surrounded by numerous hiking and mountain bike trails but other adventures alike: Explore the adventure trail to the Alb springs, join water hiking tours, participate in full moon hikes or explore a treetop trail! Moreover, you get the chance to watch native wild cats in their natural habitat! You sure entertain the little ones here (and also the not so little ones ;)). The vacation rentals at the hotel SCHWARZWALD PANORMA, offer  plenty of space for the whole family. A place for everyone – including panoramic view!

Postcard idyll for young and old

From the hotel room to nature:  From more than 250 hiking routes in Ramsau, 30 depart directly from the Berghotel Rehlegg. The team at the hotel will be happy to advise you. Whether you prefer light tours with toddlers or more challenging routes with older children. Together, you will find the right tour for you. If you fancy cycling, there are popular bike routes for family holidays: The flat Family-Bike-Path in direction south or north is suitable for children. The trail also passes some cities, and you can take the train back at any time when you’re out of puff. The tour Berchtesgaden Radstern is equally popular with families, but is more suitable for older children, as you have to cover a few meters of altitude.
