Campingpark Oase

Campingpark Oase is close to the Black Forest, which quite frankly you could get happily lost in for several weeks. Among the many recommended foresty highlights are the waterfalls in Triberg, the German Clock Museum in Furtwangen (clockmaking is quite A Thing in the forest), the Vogtsbauernhöfe or Black Forest Open Air Museum, glass blowing and the museum in Wolfach… and the rivers, mountains and heaps of German trad cuisine… Over the border in France, seventh-century Mont Sainte-Odile Abbey, now a convent, is a landmark stop on the French side of the Vosges mountain range. Also highly recommended by the Oase team are a visit to Colmar on the Alsatian Wine Route and the Cité de l’Automobile at Mulhouse, both just over an hour away, and European capital Strasbourg within 50 minutes. Europa-Park, Germany's biggest theme park, is within easy driving distance at 20 minutes – and after a day getting dizzy here, you might welcome the blessed peace and quiet of the Taubergiessen nature reserve. Or indeed you might be raring to go again, in which case make a foray to Funny-World (15 minutes away), which has a stack of indoor and outdoor attractions for kids, teens and adults (think trampolines, ball pools, boat rides, a splash pool, kids' gymnastics workshops… and a café where weary parents can relax with coffee and waffles…)
