Various offers in family ferienstellies

The program offers more than just a simple vacation. Families are given the opportunity to experience recovery times that not only promote the distance from everyday life, but also strengthen cohesion. A total of around 80 family ferry sites are available nationwide, which offer a variety of accommodations in different landscapes, including the sea and in the mountains. Many of these institutions are also designed for the needs of people with disabilities or people in need of care, such as the Federal Family Ministry emphasized.

The family ferry sites organize pedagogically accompanied leisure activities and offer childcare and various activities. In the high season, the facilities usually do without price increases, which also helps to keep the recovery affordable for families. There is also the possibility to use grants or discounted prices depending on income and regional funding programs.
