Black Forest Music School Trips & Tours
With its beautiful lakes and stunning panoramic views, the Black Forest offers many opportunities for music groups. With NST, we’ll combine performances and visits in France and Germany for a memorable two-country concert tour.
Black Forest lies in the south west corner of Germany, with the French and Swiss borders close by, making this a popular destination for those wanting to country-hop too. This is a stunning region to explore. Lush forests, clear deep lakes and rolling hills are iconic of the area, and many performance venues are set in truly idyllic locations, making a school trip to the Black Forest a memorable tour option for your group.

Expert's comment
A much underrated destination! There’s a host of interesting venues on offer which usually attract great audiences. Groups can perform against a picturesque, traditional German backdrop, cross the border to give a concert in France or perform at Europapark and receive free entry to the park (a great option for saving money on excursions).
