Rhein-Camping Waldshut

For getaways from the site, Waldshut-Tiengen (10 minutes’ drive) has a historic old town and is your gateway to wanders in the Black Forest and Rhine valley. It’s also packed with attractions and amenities – head here for an indoor swimming pool with a sauna and solarium, a go-kart track and laser games. To ride on the river directly from the park, climb aboard a boat close to the grounds to be whisked to where the Aare and Rhine waterways meet with views over to Switzerland and Waldshut-Tiengen along the way. Post-sail, swim at the Schluchsee reservoir (50 minutes’ drive north) or glide down the slides at the Aqua Fun theme park. A few minutes further on is Wutach Gorge for roams in this spectacular forested valley. For views that are just as epic, go north again to the Feldberg area and scurry up the steps to the top of the communications tower (an hour and 10 minutes) for panoramas of mountain peaks. The House of Nature Feldberg museum is worth stopping by too for the interactive displays on conservation enroute.
