Enjoyable pastimes for 100 families in Germany's Black Forest region
The High Black Forest is set to host an exciting holiday program for children this summer, as part of the Little Forest Fox initiative. This nature-focused program, launched in 2022, is a collaborative effort between the High Black Forest Tourism GmbH, South Black Forest Nature Park, and ForestBW.
Spanning across 20 local communities, the program offers a diverse range of activities designed to educate children about the importance of preserving flora and fauna in a fun and engaging manner. The program is not limited to activities organized by the aforementioned organizations, and includes various events in the local communities.
Registration is necessary for many events, and while many activities are free as part of the Little Forest Fox program, some may require a fee. The program caters to children aged five to twelve, but it's not exclusive to this age group.
Activities in the local communities include football days, holiday cinema, puppet theater, picnic actions, and fire station visits. For those with a keen interest in nature, there are alpaca hikes, forest rallies, plant workshops, and animal discovery tours.
Participating children can collect stickers in a collection booklet as they complete various events, and upon completion of the program, they will receive a small award as a "Little Forest Fox." It's important to note that the program is pedagogically supervised to ensure a safe and educational experience for all participants.
The holiday program is not limited to nature-related activities, offering a mix of fun and learning for children during their summer break. For more detailed information about the program, including specific activities and schedules, we recommend checking the official websites or local tourist and nature education centres in the High Black Forest region. The website hochschwarzwald.de/holidayprogram provides more information about the holiday program.
The Little Forest Fox program aims to provide a unique and memorable experience for children, fostering a love for nature and the environment in a playful manner. With over 100 family activities planned for the 2025 summer holidays, it's shaping up to be an unforgettable season in the High Black Forest.
The Little Forest Fox program, an initiative set in the High Black Forest, extends beyond nature-focused activities, also including family-dynamics activities such as football days, holiday cinema, puppet theater, picnic actions, and fire station visits. For those interested in home-and-garden, there are plant workshops available. Furthermore, this program fosters relationships by offering alpaca hikes, forest rallies, and animal discovery tours.
