Kaiserslautern Outdoor Recreation and Baumholder Outdoor Recreation have teamed up to make it even easier for you to cross items off your European Travel Bucket List. The same adventures begin at your choice of either Smith or Pulaski Barracks, and an early bird discount makes your adventures more affordable.

Founded in 38 B.C. Cologne has been a major city for almost 2000 years. With over 30 museums, a vibrant pedestrianized shopping district, and a world class zoo, you will certainly find plenty to do, but you will want to make sure to leave enough time to climb the 533 steps of the Cologne Cathedral, the tallest twin spired church in the world.

Whether you board the bus in Kaiserslautern or Baumholder, you will enjoy your day in Cologne when your adventure begins at Army Outdoor Recreation!
