Homburg – historic old town
Homburg is a charming small city in the Saarland region of south-west Germany. It’s about 25 miles west of Kaiserslautern. During the summer months concerts are held at the historical market place on weekends and public holidays.
As well as the historic old town with its cafes, restaurants and winebars, sights include the Schlossberg Höhlen (Schlossberg Caves), and the Roman Museum, or Römermuseum, an open-air museum which shows scenes from Roman-era life 2,000 years ago.
Kaiserslautern Zoo
The Kaiserslautern Zoo is a popular destination located in Siegelbach in the northwestern outskirts of the city’s suburbs: discover nature, and learn interesting details about the kingdom of animals.
Luisenpark
Mannheim’s largest city park open to visitors – with many new offerings. In just three weeks, park staff, gardeners, animal keepers, technicians and the Service team converted the park from BUGA to park operation. Cash register systems had to be converted, hotlines changed, and the remaining work that had to be done before the winter season on plants and animals. And this time, as before the BUGA, the team was again working flat out to ensure that the Luisenpark with its New Park Center, the modern area between the Plant Show House and the Kutzerweiher, becomes an experience for visitors.

Amusement parks in Germany.
Amusement Parks Roll Out the Fun –
From roller coasters to shows to Lego blocks to nature walks, there’s lots to do outside.
Europe’s amusement parks open earlier and will stay open later this year. It will be a banner year as some parks celebrate anniversaries, while other parks open new rides. That’s not all. More parks are providing hotels and other on-site accommodations to make a trip to an amusement park a several day affair. Some also provide two-day passes and season passes at very reasonable rates.
Change of sound at the John Cage organ art project
One of the slowest pieces of music in the world had its next change of sound on Monday February 5 (2.30 pm) in the Burchardi Church in Halberstadt. A new pipe was added in the 639-year organ piece ORGAN²/ASLSP (“As Slow aS Possible”) by US avant-garde composer John Cage (1912-1992).
