Itinerary
Day 1 to port for the crossing to Calais,
and travel to the town of Schweinfurt, Germany, or
similar, for an overnight stop.
Day 2 Enjoy a visit to Ingolstadt; a town renowned
for its medieval, horseshoe-shaped walls on the
north bank of the Danube River. We continue
through Austria and into Slovenia.
Day 3 Following breakfast, head to Bled: a ‘Jewel
in the Slovenian Crown’. In the middle of these
waters is the tiny island of Bled; reached only by
little wooden boats known as Pletna, and home
to the ornate Church of the Assumption and a
beautiful wishing bell. Visit Bled Castle, situated
on a rock high above the town. This afternoon,
perhaps join our optional excursion to Lipica.
Day 4 A free day to explore; perhaps join our
optional Ljubljana city excursion.
Day 5 Today we head to Austria and the area
of Salzkammergut. Make an afternoon stop at
Wolfgang Lake, the setting for the opera The White
Horse Inn, before seeing Mondsee. The baroque
church here was used in the wedding scene of The
Sound of Music. Continue to your hotel for a
two-night stay.
Day 6 Today is at leisure, alternatively, you may
like to join our optional excursion to Salzburg.
Day 7 Travel north, stopping en route in
Nürnberg. Explore its inner city with its charming
market square and ornate fountain. Visit
Tiergärtner Tor; full of half-timbered houses and
cobbled streets.

crossing to Dover, transferring to your original
pick-up point upon arrival.
