Specially for your children it's a nice hands on science experience. But even for us it was fun to experience some of the tests. We have a 5year old son and he was overexcited when we started, but after the first round and something to drink, we went for a second round. This time with a little bit more patience.

We were doing the fine prescribed long walking tour of Bad Durkheim Old town area and after the great park came upon this amazing 300 meter long “device”. It is a Saline Concentrator. Built for helping the lungs by the use of breathing a more saline air... Sort of like living by the sea... It is on big honkin structure and has many hundred of thousands of brush branches supported by a very robust wooden structure. There is a scale model of a working waterwheel and pump system which supplies the brine to a miniature saline tower which will impress. To me, is seems like one heck of a lot of work to go to in look of salty air like the seaside but obviously they thought so in 1857 or so to build it and a couple of times when it burnt down.

Best place to take children, water, dinosaurs snacks and other children help kids get rid of access energy, learn about nature and make new friends in all ages. Great for pictures and creating memories. Really loved it and got a season tickets.

One of my favorite hikes! Great parking at the bottom easily marked trails... cool and shaded on the way to the top. The view is worth the hike... the hike is easy to intermediate. You can also bike up. Once you’re at the top, you can climb the tower. There are numerous other trails to explore at the top as well!

During every visit in KL we „have to“ visit the Japanese Garden at least once. The place is very tranquil and peaceful, and my son loves feeding the Koi (and the ducks) and we do spend hours relaxing and resting from the city vibes. Considering that the place is run by a non profit organization with lots of TLC, ist even more impressive! We also enjoy the little snacks, of cause along with a cold Japanese beer (and a soda for junior) I can only recommend to take the time to visit ! ! !

In 1938 work this huge tunneling/bunker system began. It has a narrow gauge railway system built by the Nazis to carry soldiers and equipment to battle positions on the nearby French border. This tunneling system was used by the USA after the war and into the 1990's as a warehouse. There's a great mix of German and Allied military equipment in here. These tunnels are deep underground at certain points, so it's cold! Bring a coat. In January and February of 1945, George Patton led the Allies here in what was called "the Siegfried Line." 5 € per is well worth it, this is a main, top highlight for anyone into WWII or war in general. The nearby town of Pirmasens is well worth a stop for lunch or dinner as well!
