Forest traverse, unfortunately extremely deep and muddy after rain... but if you like that sort of thing!

The Völklinger Hütte is worth a visit, and not just for technology enthusiasts. There are many interesting places with explanations. If you've never been there, you should take a guided tour at 11:30 a.m., which lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours, depending on the guide. You'll learn a lot of interesting facts about the time. My guide was Kaya Urahn's son. His father is immortalized on the large mural by Hendrik ECB Beikirch.
