Guest JudgeMental Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Any recommendations for where to go on a 10 day break in Germany at Easter...Only concern is the weather *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The moselle isn't that far to go and it's beautiful. We went in april 2010 and the weather was quite good. So many stellplatz's as well. It's so good we've been 3 times in 2 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Peter, have been there in the summer....... that the weather in April has a chance of being OK is incouraging... will just book the tunnel and see what the weather is like. south of France would probably be a better bet but a bit far for 10 or even 14 nghts I think.

maggyd Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have to agree with Peter we also love the Moselle and we seem to end up there every year for the last 5 years. Not as far though we came across a lovely place called Saarburg it is a lovely walk or bike ride from the Stal along the river and is very picturesque it has a waterfall running right in the middle of town, have a look on Google maps, I think its about 450mls from Calais. The weather is bound to be better there than here you could explore the area then let us know of what you have found were also undecided where to go next. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try there next time we are in the area. Thanks. ;-) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandyAndy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 You could have fun booking tunnel, we are going during school holls and the Friday they break up was a bit of a nightmare to get on. Did get on late crossing and will just turn up early as we always do. :-D :-D We are doing Annecy again I think, was beautiful last year at Easter with only one shower over the whole 2 weeks.

derek pringle Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hi, As regards fun booking the tunnel, the caravan club are I think doing a DFDS to Dunkirk for 39/49 quid. Obviously only any good to members, in saying that I havent looked directly on DFDS website. Wherever you choose -good travels derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Have to agree about the Moselle another area we like is around the Elbe south of Dresden, beautifully restored paddle steamers run up the Elbe to Dresden. Been there in early May weather similar to UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandyAndy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Not sure about temps but must have been quite warm as daughter was swimming in outdoor pool on the site next to the lake. Excellent site and will be going back there again, right next to lake side and just under where all the sky divers drop. Also found an excellent aire that had just opened next to the other lake, rubbish memory right now but next to Annecy. Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 lennyhb - 2012-01-05 1:20 PM Have to agree about the Moselle another area we like is around the Elbe south of Dresden, beautifully restored paddle steamers run up the Elbe to Dresden. Been there in early May weather similar to UK. It is an area we have enjoyed a lot, having stayed at Königstein a couple of times. Cycling is good, there are river trips. the scenery is spectacular around the Bastei, and the railway makes a day out in Dresden very cheap and easy. (There are some decent Stellplätze as well as the campsites). I'm wary of recommending it in this context, however, as the general weather outlook in Dresden in March/April is somewhat cool.

Mandy Hi Mandy, what sort of temps was it at Easter? love Annercy have been 3 times.... Dortmund is about the same latitude as where you live, and Munich is about the same a Orleans, on the Loire, so bearing in mind the effect of altitude (central Germany is generally higher than south east England) I would expect much the same Easter weather and temperatures as here. If you want warmer, as a general rule, you'll need to cross the Alps or Pyrenees, or get south of Valence in France (but not on the French massif).
