Itinerary
We meet at the airport at 12pm for our Air Malta flight to Zurich departing at 2.20pm, arriving at 4.45pm. On arrival we are transferred to our 4-star Central Hotel in Schwenningen, in Germany, for our stay in the Black Forest region. This small, charming town is ideally situated to discover the highlights of the area. On arrival after check-in our rooms we will be treated with a welcome drink and later join our tour leader for a familiarisation walk.
On our first optional excursion, we cross over to neighbouring France for an optional full-day excursion to Strasbourg. We drive through the lovely countryside and on the way, we shall stop at Dorotheenhutte’s glass paradise and its unique all-year-round Christmas shop. We then proceed to Strasbourg, the site of the European Parliament and visit Petite France and the old medieval town with its superb cathedral and majestic buildings.
Today’s full-day optional excursion takes us to Stuttgart. Our short-walking tour will end in Palace Square, where we can see the Old and New Palaces. During our stay we will stroll along the 1,100m long pedestrian Konigstrasse, a shopping paradise packed with various shops for any taste. One may opt to visit on his own the Mercedes-Benz Museum (extra) which takes you through a journey of more than 130 years of fascinating automotive history and on into the future. Arrangements will be done by the tour leader for those interested to visit the museum on their own.
A full-day optional excursion to the Black Forest core awaits us to take us on a pleasant drive through endless paths amongst the forest trees. We start by visiting Triberg Waterfalls (extra) and walk down the side path to see one of Germany’s highest waterfalls. After we experience this fascinating natural attraction with seven cascades of roaring dropping water, we proceed to see the world’s largest cuckoo clock in Clock Park Eble, which has its spot in the Guiness Book of Records. We later head towards the village of Titisee with its lake, situated 858m above sea level between wooded slopes of the forest. If the boats will be in operation, we will take a boat ride (extra) on this emerald, green lake.
It is highly suggested that on this day we take an optional full-day excursion to visit Europa Theme Park (extra) and indulge ourselves in the Easter atmosphere. The park guarantees a lot of fun for ALL ages with 15 European themed areas offering over 100 excellent range of attractions pre-paid with the entrance ticket. We will attend various shows like those on ice, horsemen, musicals, train rides and many more, all suitable for children. For those more adventurous one can experience different exciting spinning high roller coasters, Fjord rafting and water splash rides. All this will make our day a special one.
Our full-day optional excursion first takes us to the botanical Island of Mainau (extra) known for its splendour of flowers, children’s park, pony rides, petting zoo and its main attraction: the Butterfly House. Early in the afternoon, we head to Constance situated on the famous Lake Constance, bordering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This historical town is ideal to stroll around the picturesque pedestrian streets and the harbour offering breathtaking views of the lake and the distant Alps.
Today’s full-day optional excursion will take us once more to France stopping in Colmar, known also as ‘Little Venice of Alsace’. We admire the half-timbered houses and peaceful canals while walking through the cobbled streets. We drive back to Germany stopping in Freiburg, the capital of the Black Forest Region. Here we visit the Gothic Cathedral dominating the square and stroll around the 14th century buildings and pedestrian area where one can do some shopping.
We check-out of our rooms, board the coach and head towards Zurich Airport. On our way, we shall stop in Schaffhausen with its fine Renaissance era buildings and later proceed to admire the magnificent Rhine Falls. Later we proceed to Zurich Airport for our return Air Malta flight departing at 5.40pm and arriving in Malta at 7.55pm.
