“Time Travel” – English Tour in Otterberg

Get on the rustic, horse-drawn covered wagon, and travel back in time through the scenic city of Otterberg. The tour combines tradition and the modern age. With virtual reality glasses you immerse yourself in days gone by: from the time of the monastery in 1254 to the Walloon town in 1615. Imagine the wind in your face, feel the jerking of the wagon, hear the clattering of the horses' hooves, and feel completely transported back to the past. After the carriage ride, a visit to the stately Otterberg Abbey Church awaits you as part of an English guided tour. Here you learn about the exciting history of the church, and you experience the incomparable atmosphere live, no longer virtually but the real present-day occurrences. The “Time Travel” tour starts at 2:30 p.m. and takes approx. 1.5 hours. Desired dates for groups of 8 people and more can be arranged upon request. Participation fee is € 45 for adults and € 40 for children and students. Tickets can be booked via the following link: https://tickets.vgo-o.de/Touristinfo/3cnwe-6/3087/
