    The best time of year for a

    A family holiday in Thuringia?

    Any time of year! Whether it’s spring, summer, autumn or winter – Thuringia is well worth a visit at any time of year. Both our AHORN Berghotel Friedrichroda and the AHORN Panorama Hotel Oberhof offer plenty of options for planning leisure activities whatever the weather. Are you already packing? We’d be happy to help with our packing list for your family holiday in Thuringia.

    • Surrounded by nature In spring, when nature awakens from its winter slumber, Thuringia offers a unique atmosphere. Alongside the region’s largest natural landscape, the Thuringian Forest, you’ll also find numerous landscaped gardens and parks that transform this small federal state into a colourful sea of blossoms. A special spring experience for young and old alike is the Rennstein Garden in Oberhof, which lies less than five kilometres from the AHORN Panorama Hotel Oberhof and forms part of the fourth stage of the Rennstein Trail. Here – in Germany’s largest alpine garden – you can admire numerous high-mountain flower species from the end of April onwards. If the spring weather isn’t playing ball, enjoy the magnificent view from your hotel and the varied children’s programme on site. In our large indoor YOKI AHORN children’s play areas, boredom is never an issue with the ball pit, slide and table football.

    • In summer, when the sun provides pleasant warmth, children and adults alike look forward to refreshing fun in the water. There are plenty of opportunities to cool off in the water during a family holiday in Thuringia. At the AHORN Berghotel Friedrichroda, you can use both the indoor and outdoor pools, and for additional swimming fun, the nearby outdoor pool in Friedrichroda is available. Similarly, the AHORN Panorama Hotel Oberhof attracts visitors with an indoor pool as well as nearby swimming options, such as the H2Oberhof Wellnessbad or the Lütschetalsperre, the Oberhof reservoir. Here, you can spend a wonderful day as a family in or on the water, swimming or boating. In the event that the weather isn’t ideal for swimming, why not take a trip that brings Thuringia’s history to life: Wartburg Castle in Eisenach. This almost thousand-year-old castle captivates visitors with its opulently decorated buildings and allows you and your family to immerse yourselves in the fascinating world of times gone by.

    • Autumn in Thuringia beckons with its idyllic hiking areas, inviting you to embark on exciting exploration tours. For your family holiday in Thuringia, both hotels – the AHORN Berghotel Friedrichroda and the AHORN Panorama Hotel Oberhof – offer an ideal base, as they are situated directly on the Rennsteig in the heart of the Thuringian Forest. The Rennsteig, Germany’s best-known and longest high-altitude hiking trail, promises a unique experience of nature. The division of the trail into individual stages is particularly convenient for families with younger children. In addition to its natural attractions, Thuringia also offers a wealth of cultural treasures waiting to be discovered by the whole family. The state capital Erfurt and Weimar impress with their great cultural diversity and invite you to enjoy exciting sightseeing tours. Thanks to the extensive range of leisure activities, there’s something for everyone in our hotels, whatever the weather. Boredom is out of the question! From a trip to the cinema and fun in the indoor pool to creative craft sessions and the popular YOKI AHORN Children’s World, there’s something for everyone.

    • Verbringen Sie Ihren Familienurlaub in Thüringen im Winter und erleben Sie ein rundum sorgloses Erlebnis voller aufregender Aktivitäten. Egal ob beim Wintersport oder beim lustigen Indoor-Spaß – wir sorgen für ein abwechslungsreiches Programm, das sowohl Kindern als auch Erwachsenen gefällt. In unmittelbarer Umgebung des AHORN Berghotel Friedrichroda starten Sie Ihr Skiabenteuer am Inselsberg. Dort warten außerdem 25 Kilometer Loipen und 40 Kilometer Skiwanderwege darauf, von Ihnen entdeckt zu werden. Einen besonderen Spaßfaktor verspricht der Rodelhang oder die Natureisbahn. Im Hotel angekommen, genießen Sie den Innenpool, der sogar über ein eigenes Kinderbecken verfügt.

In einem der bekanntesten deutschen Wintersportzentren können Sie ein mehr als 1000 Kilometer langes Loipennetz erkunden. Oder Sie wandern gemeinsam auf romantisch verschneiten Wegen entlang des Rennsteigs, genießen aufregende Schlittenfahrten oder beobachten Wintersportler beim Training. Und was gibt es Schöneres, als anschließend ins Hotel zurückzukehren und rundum versorgt zu sein, denn hier warten tolle Indoor-Aktivitäten von YOKI AHORN Kinderwelt bis Badespaß im Innen-Pool.

    FAQ – Frequently asked questions about family holidays in Thuringia

    • The ideal length of a holiday with children varies depending on the family’s needs. For many, 7 to 10 days is the perfect length of time to relax and enjoy shared experiences. Shorter stays of 3 to 5 days are also popular, particularly with younger children. Our ‘4 Days Away with Grandma and Grandad’ package therefore strikes the perfect balance and offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy your first holiday experiences with your grandchildren.

    • When booking a family holiday in Thuringia, you can save money by taking advantage of special family offers. Our package deals, such as ‘4 days out and about with Grandma and Grandad’ or ‘5-day AHORN family holiday’, offer attractive price benefits and include a wide range of services tailored specifically to the needs of families. By booking one of these packages, you can not only save money but also ensure that you and your family can enjoy a thoroughly enjoyable and stress-free holiday.

    • Whether you choose half-board or full-board is ultimately a personal decision, and both options offer different benefits. However, we recommend the half-board option for family holidays in Thuringia. That is why our family packages include generous breakfast and evening buffets, which offer numerous advantages, particularly when holidaying with children. Half-board gives your family the flexibility to plan each day of your holiday as you wish.

    • Children benefit from special rates in our offers. Guests aged 5 and under stay free of charge, whilst children aged 6 to 12 receive a discount of up to 50 per cent when sharing a double room with two adults. We’d be happy to advise you on the best deals for your family holiday in Thuringia!
