Hotel Hochsauerland by Center Parcs

Located in a picturesque area with easy access to activities. Features include a waterpark, mini-golf, tennis, and a spacious swimming pool suitable for all ages.

The area surrounding Centre Parcs Hochsauerland is picturesque and quintessentially what you expect of Germany. Cute villages with chalet style housing, hills and forest. Very beautiful. The centre @ Centre Parcs itself was lovely and clean and had lots of activities, but sadly as an English family who did not speak German or Dutch, several were unavailable as they did not have the staff who could run the sessions in English. We tried to hire the push bikes for the 9 kids within our group, but they only had 6 for the whole site, which had over 700 lodges. We tried to hire the 6 along with three e-scooters, but they only had 2 of those working. The adventure area was great with loads of activities for the kids to do while the adults had a coffee. The communal areas in the lodges were very clean with all you could need, but sadly in areas you could not see (underneath beds) were filthy, with what I would imagine was several months’ worth of dirt. Off site, there are some great activities to try (luge, skiing (when snowy), zip lining and mountain biking) about 15 minutes drive away and these are reasonably priced. All in all, I would not recommend this Centre Parcs unless you speak German or Dutch, although there were several English families had made the long drive to the site.
