Social Program
For Thursday afternoon, different social activities (each for a limited number of participants) have been organized. You will be able to select one of these via the registration portal (we will inform participants once opened)
1. Group booking at World Heritage Site Völklinger Hütte (guided tour in English)
2. Group booking at Adventure Park Saar (Climbing park and fly-line in Saarbrücken)
3. 4hr hike around Saarbrücken: Very close to Saarland University, you will unexpectedly stumble upon smaller and larger highlights that you would not have suspected in this urban area. We will show you the special features on 13 kilometers, let your senses wander through the nearby forests and introduce you to the Saarland dialect. Look forward to legendary red sandstones, deciduous forests in the autumnal garb of the adjacent Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve and 241 steps that will take you to the heights! Since we will overcome 450 meters of altitude on different surfaces, we ask you to bring sturdy shoes and backpack food.
In addition, the Hochschulsportzentrum will offer various courses, which you can attend free of charge and without registration:
• October 10, 12:45 - 13:30 : Running meeting
• October 11, 7:15 - 8:00 : Wake-Up Yoga Get a powerful, dynamic start to your day with Wake-Up Yoga! Around the world, more and more people are discovering yoga as a way to stay fit, reduce stress and prevent illness. Yoga strengthens the muscles and thus also stabilizes the spine and joints. The relaxation between the postures at the beginning and end of the class helps the mind to calm down. All together gives strength and energy for everyday life. Yoga mats and blocks are provided.
• October 12, 7:15 - 8:00 : Functional Workout (Dip Thapa). In this class, we combine various sports programs into a powerful and mindful workout. The focus is on functionality and the joy of movement. Gymnastic mats are available. Please wear clean sports shoes.
• October 10-13, 12:45 - 13:30 : Supervision at Stations F, G and H.
The University's Campus in Motion fitness and exercise trail offers everyone on campus the opportunity to incorporate exercise, fun and fitness into their daily routine. Use your lunch break to complete a short, instructor-led exercise program at the stations. Video exercise instructions are conveniently available at each station via QR code. Participation is possible in everyday clothing (no high heels, please).
