Secret Tours


You don't know where you're going, you don't know what to expect, and you don't even have your cell phone to hold on to. All you know is a meeting place and a time and off you go on an adventure into the unknown. Welcome to Secret Tours!

With the secret tours we take you to special places in Kaiserslautern, Landau and the Palatinate or to adventurous and beautiful situations. Each tour is unique and limited to a few participants. If you are fast enough and get a place, you have the chance to get to know the Palatinate in a special way: without a cell phone, without Google, but with a personal guide.

Start and arrival is always in Kaiserslautern or Landau. The arrival and departure is part of the tour, organized by us, and like the rest of the tour free of charge! Depending on the tour, there may be at most a small expense contribution for food.

Where is the catch? Actually none, provided you can manage to do without your smartphone for a day without withdrawal symptoms. All cell phones will be collected by the tour guide at the start and kept safe for emergencies. If you are brave, you leave your cell phone completely at home. No news, no selfies, no Insta, no Whatsapp. Engage with the situation and the people around you for a day with all your senses, without digital distractions, just as if it were 1995 again - only better dressed.

Why we do it. We want to reward curiosity and show that the next adventure can often be right on your doorstep, you just have to find it....

Registration

Since the number of participants for the Secret tours is very limited, we have come up with a bombproof registration procedure that gives everyone the same chance. Registration for each tour always starts at 8am (a bit unfair, but fair!) a few days before via a registration form in the tour description.

The principle is relatively simple: First come, first served; If you're late, life will paint you; The early bird catches the sausage...you know the sayings. If there is no registration form linked yet, the registration is not activated yet. Makes sense!

All top-secret-infos like meeting point, time etc. will be sent to you in an e-mail. This email will self-destruct after reading, so best make a coded note somewhere.

You are a late riser? We have a heart for you too. There is a waiting list, through which you can still slip in with a little luck if you are high up. No risk, no fun!

Good luck!


Secret Tour 1 Landau: Erstis on Tour!

10.10.2023

On this tour, especially for first-year students, the newcomers to RPTU had the chance to make new contacts and get to know fellow students. With puzzles and challenges, the evening turned into a little adventure, with the fire bringing light into the darkness on the way back!

Secret Tour 12: Bliss of nature!

10.10.2023

On this tour, we made our way through the forest to the House of Sustainability in Johanniskreuz. There we cooked together in an outdoor kitchen on an open fire and in an earth oven. From sheep's cheese or tofu in a maple leaf to roast potatoes, vegetables in a jar and haunch of venison to chocolate banana, everything was there. Finally, one or the other brave adventurer cooled off in the pond.

Secret Tour 11: Felsenhafter Flügelschlag!

We dared to go high on this tour and climb the Donnersberg with its great trails. With a huge group, far more than the other tours, we filled the coach and set ourselves the mission to reach the summit of the highest mountain in the Palatinate. We were rewarded with great views of wide-spreading valleys, for example, from the Adlerbogen. Finally, a delicious meal from the grill was not to be missed.

Secret Tour 10: Teufelstisch!

19.03.2023

After a joint hike to the legendary Humbergturm, we set up our outdoor kitchen at the summit with a view of the Devils' stadium. Teamwise we have conjured up a feast of main course, side salad and aperative drink on the table. Due to the changeable weather, we were rewarded with a beautiful rainbow. The way back we have brightly illuminated with torches.

Secret Tour 9: Hinab führt auch ein Weg!

02.02.2023

We went into the underground world of the city of Kaiserslautern. Invisible corridors below the earth's surface led us to the Palgrave's Hall and gave us a glimpse into a partly forgotten but magnificent time. Afterwards we had a delicious meal with typical Palatine food in the oldest restaurant in Kaiserslautern, the Spinnrädl.

Secret Tour 8: Immer auf Kurs!

08.08.2022

This Secret Tour left no one dry! An insane adventure took us high up on wheels in wonderful weather before we danced on the waves. Also Entspannug did not come too briefly with this sporty challenge and we enjoyed the warm summer evening on the shore.

Secret Tour 7: Frisch auf!

17.07.2022

We didn't just discover the unexpected this time - we discovered insanely new things! In wonderful sunny summer weather, we explored new paths in the region and dared a culinary experiment. It took us high up and far into the past.

Secret Tour 6: Der absolute Oberhammer!

27.02.2022

We enjoyed the sixth Secret Tour in bright sunshine and a regional refreshment drink.

Secret Tour 5: Kommt Zeit - Kom pass

29.01.2022

On the fifth Secret Tour we did an orienteering run and discovered the primeval forest of the Palatinate Forest. Quite old-fashioned, only maps and compasses were allowed as aids. The weather left something to be desired, but that didn't detract from the fun, games and excitement!

Secret Tour 4: Großartig Kleines

11.12.2021

The fourth Secret Tour was great once again! This time we took the theme of forest bathing literally: Each participant could take an intensive forest bath. And we realized that even the little things in life make you happy ;-)

Secret Tour 3: Das Beil im Walde

17.11.2021

For the third Secret Tour we have come up with something completely new. It will be as always a special kind of nature experience, only this time maybe a little colder! But more is not betrayed, only so much: Gloves, hat and scarf pack and not long torch: The number of participants is as always limited to a few lucky people.

Secret Tour 2: ENTSPANNT DURCHDREHEN

17.10.2021

In the second tour, the Lauter Valley was discovered by bike. From the Kammgarn to Lauterecken, we cycled along the famous river "Lauter". With sunbeams in the back and the helmet on the head was 40 km long "relaxed spinning". After the effort there was a princely picnic with delicious cheese, fresh baguette and of course pretzels. Back to Lautern we went quite comfortably by train. Thanks to our guides, no one needed their smartphone for GPS navigation.

Secret tour 1: GÖNN DIR!

25.09.2021

The first tour in the Secret Tours series went by the name of "GÖNN DIR!" and took its participants to the dreamy wine village of Gönnheim in the Vorderpfalz region in bright late summer weather. Picked up from the train station by covered wagon, they went directly to the vineyard to harvest grapes. After a lot of sun, fresh air and physical work came the enjoyment part: wine tasting, culinary break, a guided tour with insight into the further wine processing and the sacred halls of the wine cellar, tested the wine again for safety and with heavy arms and a Palatinate experience richer back to Lautern. And no one missed his cell phone.
