A family weekend in Germany: discovering Saarland
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to Bliesgau, a region classified as a UNESCO biosphere reserve. We went on a hike with an adorable donkey named Antonn. James could caress him, walk beside him, and even guide him at times

Highlights: We loved the Bliesgau hike! "It allows you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and share a real moment with the children, far from screens and over-marked trails." James loved the donkey and the landscapes ✨
