Kaiserslautern has been hastily preparing for the big event of the year, the football World Cup 2006, and it shows in almost every aspect of public life in the city. Streets have been re-paved, flowers planted, the train station and the stadium have undergone extension make-overs and there?s a lot of questionable football-inspired artwork going up throughout the city. It has been a lot of work for ?just five football games? some might argue, but it's certainly a welcome boost for K-Town, as the place is called by the many Americans living and working on the military base nearby.
If you are a visitor to K-Town now, however, you will most certainly profit from all this work because Kaiserslautern has rarely been so lovely - despite the dodgy art.
With the summer here, the Palatine Forest near Kaiserslautern teems with hikers, bikers, motorcyclists and campers. For people who prefer to practice sports themselves rather than watching it, we?ve put together a few ideas in our Palatine Forest feature.
