Join in and be one of the first to experience mobile time travel, the first of its kind in Germany. Climb aboard the rustic horse-drawn covered wagon and experience a unique ride through Otterberg, which combines tradition and modern technology. With your Virtual Reality glasses you will step back into long forgotten time; from the time of the monastery in 1254 up to the city of the Walloons in 1615. Feel the wind in your face, the jerking of the wagon and hear the click-clack of the horse’s hooves, and feel like you are actually alive in that time period. Then experience the magnificent Otterberg Abteil Kirche, the second largest sacral building in Rheinland-Pfalz, with its exciting history. Now no longer virtual, but in reality with its massive, yellow sandstones that have shaped the character of the almost 1,000 year old edifice.
