Enjoy yourself in Germany

Many of us find ourselves lost in the glorious idea of a vacation or a weekend off, but when that time actually rolls around we have no idea what to do or where to go.

Some may leave the country, but you may be surprised by the number of people who stay behind with “nothing” to do. Naturally, many end up on base, shopping at the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center or catching the latest movie in the theaters. But living in Europe, you have the opportunity of a lifetime, so don’t let it pass you by.

All it takes is a quick walk to Ramstein-Miesenbach’s Info-Center in the Museum im Westrich, Miesenbacher Strasse 1. The center is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and you can reach it by calling 06371-838186. It’s difficult to leave the center without a handful of brochures in your hands and plans in your head. There are numerous things to suit anyone’s interest: for the bikers, there is a new, modified bike map that outlines the bike trails from any village.

Even those nature hikers can pick up a booklet of different hike paths to places such as the middle point of the Pfalz with the history, length and marking points included. For those seeking more of a German culture activity, grab “Die Pfalz feiert” and you will be given the dates and the places of flower garden exhibitions to the famous Bad Dürkheim wine fest.

These are just a few things available to you at the Info-Center, so don’t let these opportunities pass you by.
