Downtown Kaiserslautern will be hopping this weekend. The Lautrer Kerwe fest featuring games, rides and food runs Friday through June 3. There’ll be a public viewing of the DFB Trophy final on Saturday and a reception Sunday for the 1 FC Kaiserslautern soccer team at Stiftzplatz in Kaiserslautern (get all the details here). If you’re wanting to be away from the city, a 14-mile trail between the city of Landstuhl and the village of Thaleischweiler-Fröschen will be closed to motorized traffic but open for family-friendly biking for Car-Free Sunday in the Wallhalbtal.
