Wohnmobil- und Campingpark Ambergau

Reception staff at Wohnmobil- und Campingpark Ambergau can help organise bicycle and hiking tours of the Ambergau region, or you can find your own trails in the Sofaklippen (15 minutes’ drive), amid lakeside scenery and bizarre rock formations. If you’re holidaying with the kids, there are swan boat rides, zip wires and a petting farm at Familienpark Sottrum (10 minutes), and vintage trains on a disused railway line at Museumsbahnbetrieb Almetalbahn (20 minutes). If you need something to do on a rainy day, head to Wasserparadies Hildesheim (half an hour) to whizz down the waterslides. In fact, the historic town of Hildesheim is worth a visit no matter what the weather is doing, with its mix of lovely churches plus half-timbered, gabled houses around a massive cobbled square lined with terrace cafés. Other cultural days out to consider include Brunswick (40 minutes), with a city centre awash with magnificent churches and palaces, and Klosterpark (20 minutes), which has a stately baroque-era monastery and lakeside churches to explore.
