Adventure tour Neckar-Odenwald-Kreis: Flight, nutrition, climate change – learning from history for the future

How are flight, nutrition and climate change related?

On a bike tour we discover global connections and derive solutions for the future from the past. The Eiermann-Magnani House in Hettingen, a post-war cooperative settlement, shows how refugees once took their lives into their own hands. This leads us to look at current causes of flight worldwide. Then we go to the green kernel kiln in Buchen-Rinschheim. Grünkern was invented in the Odenwald during the famine years in the 19th century, and today it is an example of innovative food production to alleviate hunger in the world. Finally, at the Eberstadt stalactite cave we learn something about the effects of climate change on countries in the Global South.

The following sustainability goals will be examined in more detail during this tour: SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 13 (Climate Action), 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).

Start and end of the tour: Book train station
Duration: around four hours by bike including break times, which are agreed upon in the group (20 km cycle path, 230 meters altitude)
Cost: 2,50 euros entry to Eiermann-Magnani House per person. Please bring the appropriate amount with you. Children and students are free.

The tour is aimed at adults and children aged 12 and over (only when accompanied by an adult). Please bring your own safe bikes and helmets. There is no rental option. The route is suitable for conventional or e-bikes. Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring food if necessary. Notes: Participation in the tour is at your own risk. Subject to change.

Background: 17 destination tours for sustainability – global.local.experience
The United Nations' Agenda 2030 with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) forms the framework for the global realization of a future-proof and sustainable society. In the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, seven adventure tours are offered on foot, by bike or on the water. Specially trained tour guides show the global connections on site and give suggestions on how the 17 goals can be achieved.

The “global.local.experience” tours are an offer from the Development-Related Education in Germany (EBD) program run by Engagement Global in cooperation with the Rhine-Neckar Region Association.
