School & College Tours to the Black Forest
The unique 'Schwarzwald' is a delightful and picturesque region with lots of traditional cuckooclock charm. There is an endless list of visits available, from historic market towns to theme parks or local crafts visits.
Lahr, founded in the 13th Century, is only 30km from Strasbourg and some 12km from the Europapark theme park. It has an attractive pedestrianised centre, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and sports fields.
