Family holidays in Germany
The famous resort village of Oberhof in Thuringia has been a popular holiday destination, in every season of the year, since the 19th century.
Your family vacation in the Thuringian Forest
Oberhof lies on the ridge of the Thuringian Forest and is, amongst others, a popular stopping destination for hikers on the Rennsteig trail. The Großer Beerberg, at 982 m elevation, is the highest point in the Thuringian Forest and is only a few kilometres away. A unique attraction also found in Oberhot is the botanical garden Rennsteiggarten, specialising in mountain flora. This varied environment makes for an exciting family holiday in Germany.
