1. Coasteering

The latest craze in the wild world of adventure sports is coasteering, a mix of swimming, climbing, jumping and diving on rocky shores. But the adrenaline rush is not only boring, but the drinking fun is great for families as well. The top spot for this discipline is Wales, where several organizers offer guided tours.

2. Camping in Sweden

Would you like to suit Huckleberry Finn and set sail for freedom on a homemade raft? In the southern Swedish region of Värmland, providers specialize in rafting adventures for families. On the first day, participants pack their rafts, pack plates and supplies, and set off under expert guidance. You sleep on the raft, camping or in nature. Tours are offered for up to eight days.

3. Fun on the farm

This is how ancient knights lived (probably not)! Located in the Hohenloher Land in Baden-Württemberg (Germany), the 12th-century Tannenburg has been transformed into a guest house with modern comforts by the couple Ruth and Ernst-Martin Zipper. Still, the kids feel like Princess Kunigunde and Knight Kunibert here. The current lords of the castle also run an organic farm. If you want, you can help out on the organic farm or hug the miniature pigs and calves.

4. Water fun on Lake Constance

Lake Constance: known to all and often forgotten. The “Swabian Sea” is a perfect family destination. Alongside all imaginable water sports, there are amusement parks, zoos, exciting museums and castles everywhere that you can easily explore along the Lake Constance cycle path. This route passes through three countries and is also suitable for children – especially if the little ones can swim in the lake for a change.

5. Rowing

Passes, beaches, cozy villages: Ardèche in France is an Eldorado for recreational rowers. The river in the Rhône-Alpes department is one of the most popular destinations for canoe vacations in Europe.

6. Boat trips in Europe

Become a captain once in your life – without a sailing or offshore license. No problem with one of the houseboat cruises offered on the many rivers in Europe.

The rivers and lakes of Brandenburg near Berlin are considered a houseboat Mecca. Here in Havel, Captain Bluebear and Co. explores the natural stretches of the river, the adventure life and many cultures.

7. Equestrian in Ireland

Sometimes life is allowed to turn into a pony farm: this is especially possible in green Ireland, which is known for its equestrian holiday offerings everywhere. Now children and teenagers can combine a love of horses with something useful: Providers now combine riding holidays with an English course – young visitors learn both through play.

8. The Ways of Saint James in France

Thanks to the film adaptation of Hape Kerkeling’s bestselling book “I’ll Be god”, St. James Way is booming again. Another insider tip is at the four main St. James Way. The walking tour by donkey is suitable for families – even the little ones can walk for miles with them. If its legs get tired, the donkey can carry the puppies and their belongings for a while, provided the long-eared dog is willing and does not jump.

9. Walking

Many Swiss recognize the original canton of Uri through their windowpanes as they drive into Gotthard in the warm south. Wrong, because there are so many unknown heights to explore and hike in the central Swiss region. A highlight is the Schächentaler Höhenweg, which can be divided into sections as you wish thanks to the four cable cars. It covers a total area of ​​22 kilometers. It is considered medium difficulty. Here you will find the most beautiful hiking trails in Switzerland.

10. Tandem paragliding flight

The dream of flying is as old as humanity. You get the first impression of this on a tandem paragliding flight, riding on the back of a professional and gliding over a completely detached terrain. Assuming they have a bit of adventurous blood, the fun is now also available for kids over the age of five. Flights for children are offered in Central Switzerland, among other destinations. Starting points are Emmetten NW, Brunni SZ, Seebodenalp SZ, even Pilatus-Kulm.
