Adventure activities
for families

Go thrill-seeking at Eaux Vives Park, Huningue

With canoeing, kayaking, rafting, river boarding and stand-up paddle, the river is your playground! It’s lovely and cool and of course, the staff are on hand to make sure everyone stays safe. This is a really original experience - it’s not every day you visit a town in Alsace by shooting the rapids. And as a bonus, the more you do, the better you get!

Visit fairytale castles

With its impressive drawbridge, you’ll recognise Hohlandsbourg Castle at a glance. It’s the perfect place for a family adventure to transport you back to the Middle Ages.

At Fleckenstein castle, the highly original “Château des Défis” tour makes a visit great fun. You’ll need to pull together as a family as you solve the puzzles and take part in life-sized challenges.  

Last but certainly not least, awe-inspiring Haut-Koenigsbourg castle offers a sweeping panorama of the plains below. No wonder the director of the Lord of the Rings film drew on it for inspiration. All aboard for a unique adventure!

Meet the Barbary macaques at Monkey Mountain

As you walk into the forest, appreciate the beautiful setting: the monkeys roam free in an environment that’s close to their natural habitat. You can watch them walking almost alongside you, climbing the trees, eating fruit and grooming each other. If you have a question, ask any of the staff who are available all along the route. There’s also a quiz for families. Throw all your ideas into the hat and you’ll soon have answered the questions and earned your prize! Once you’ve finished visiting the monkeys, head for the play areas so that the children can burn off any remaining energy.
