Park Allgäu is right down in the south of Germany. Like Bispinger Heide Village in the north, this one requires an extra long journey from the UK with plans for an overnight stop in both directions. One of the newest Center Parcs villages, Park Allgäu is in the Alpine mountains, close to the Austrian border. Cottages have a fresh, modern design with plenty of options for big families. The Aqua Mundo really is fantastic with some excellent water slides, a snorkelling pool and wild water rapids as well as lots of other fun areas to discover. This village has an extensive activity programme with something for everyone – water sports, several high ropes courses, parallel zip wires, indoor and outdoor climbing walls plus much more.

Useful Resources When Driving in France, Belgium, Germany and Netherlands
All distances have been taken from Google Maps. Journey times will vary depending on the time/day you travel and any unforeseen events such as accidents or roadworks. Whether you opt for planes, trains or ferries, remember to allow 1-2 hours for check-in and boarding each way.
Many countries are bringing in more and more ULEZ zones, which can make journeys difficult if your big old family car is non-compliant. Even cars that are compliant have to be registered to be allowed in these zones. This all gets pretty complicated, so it’s best to just avoid the relevant areas. Google Maps will often take you straight through a ULEZ zone without offering an alternative route, so make adjustments to your route before you set off if necessary. Visit drive2.city for up-to-date information on ULEZ zones in the UK and the rest of Europe.
