German and Austrian youth holiday camps showcase sports and cultural activities
Several community-based holiday programs took place in Germany and Austria this week. In Grünberg, Germany, the DFB‑run C‑Junioren camp combined soccer training with leisure outings such as a forest swim, a visiting goalkeeper coach, and a 3‑meter goal‑post challenge for the youngsters.
At a lakeside holiday hostel near the Wolfgangsee in Austria, families attended a visitor day featuring 360° football, beach volleyball, short boat trips, and a “ballet of boats” performance on the lake.
In the WerreWeser region of Germany, a Halloween celebration offered trick‑or‑treat walks, a water‑fight, and evening campfire activities for children and teenagers.
Meanwhile, a Danube cruise group spent its second day exploring Vienna, touring the city’s historic centre, visiting the Belvedere museum to see Gustav Klimt’s *Der Kuss*, and ending with a scenic hike on the Kahlenberg wine hill.
