Camping L'Île du Rhin

Bring your toughest walking boots and get lost among the Alsatian days, trekking trails, history, rural landscapes and forests of Breisach country; local produce should of course be consumed, Pacmanlike, on the way too. Once you cross the border to Germany from Camping L'Île du Rhin, you'll be in the Black Forest, the country's biggest natural park and, say we, one of the finest forests in Europe. Woods, mountains, valleys and lakes are all around, along with mighty scenic villages (said to have inspired the fairytales of the Brothers Grimm), watersports at the Titisee and the Schluchsee, and the many spa resorts of Badenweiler, Bad Herrenalb etc. Back in Breisach, take a long lazy river cruise for smashing views of the local countryside and its many villages, rent a bike to pedal freely around, try some watersports or dip into the local pool, just 300 metres from base.
