There is a city map for hot days in Karlsruhe. It shows fountains and cool places such as libraries, museums or ‘cool churches’: https://www.karlsruhe.de/umwelt–klima/klimaschutz–klimaanpassung/hitze–in–karlsruhe/stadtplan–fuer–heisse–tage

• Nearby, to the south–east: a hospital with a helipad

  • During the camp, helicopters may fly over us at a relatively low altitude from time to time when patients are being taken to hospital in an emergency.

  • The River Alb is very beautiful and can provide some relief from the heat. However, treated water from the sewage treatment works is discharged into the river, and time and again in summer the water level is so low that adults, children and dogs suffer from diarrhoea because the concentration of bacteria rises too high. This has already been the case this year.
