This family's experience:

Activities: We considered a bike ride in the Schaumburg Forest, but it was suggested to visit only in good weather because of the muddy conditions. We planned to visit Schloss Baum

Highlights: The children would have liked to see the small Schloss Baum. 'The Schaumburg Forest is quite swampy' ✨
