Day 5 of our family European road trip takes us into the Netherlands for a wonderfully slow day at De Ullingse Bergen near Sint Anthonis. After abandoning our plans for Aachen, we discover one of the best family campsites and self-catering chalets we've stayed in, complete with pools, go-karts, fresh croissants and a little taste of Dutch childhood independence. Sometimes the unplanned stops are the best ones!

Explore Luxembourg’s Mullerthal region with kids: Schiessentümpel waterfall, the narrow Kuelscheier caves, Hohllay and beautiful Vianden. Our family road-trip guide covers where to park, short hikes, what to expect in the caves, visiting Vianden’s chairlift and practical tips for exploring Luxembourg’s “Little Switzerland” on a budget.

Having fallen almost immediately in love with the tranquil and beautiful Luxembourgish forest, we decided to sack off our original plan to head 30 minutes south into Luxembourg City simply to tick off the capital, in favour of exploring the woodland surrounding us instead.
