Depart from London on the Eurostar to Paris and enjoy a scenic journey through Germany, before reaching the charming town of Kork where you will stay for the next four nights. Located to the west of the Black Forest, the town is surrounded by woodland and vineyards, and the half-timbered houses adorned with fairy lights look incredibly picturesque on the cold winter days. Guided excursions over the next three days give you the opportunity to browse the Christmas Markets of the Black Forest in Gengenbach, Titisee and Freiburg, and really immerse yourself in the festive spirit.

Enjoy the German Christmas Markets in the Black Forest

An escorted holiday to the Christmas Markets of the Black Forest removes the stress of planning your own trip, leaving you free to relax, enjoy the scenery and take full advantage of the Christmas cheer. Do not miss Gengenbach's Town Hall, which is transformed every year into an enormous Advent Calendar. Each day, one of its 24 windows is illuminated with a festive image, counting down the days to Christmas. A horse drawn sleigh ride along the shores of Lake Titisee will leave you feeling exhilarated, and a visit to the Black Forest's capital, Frieberg, lets you explore the festivities on a much larger scale.
