On the go with all senses: An excursion that makes perception newly experienceable

On June 22, 2026, the inclusion project Kick&Connect of the Culture Center Schlachthof invites you to a special discovery experience: the excursion to the Sensory Trails in the brickworks Oberkaufungen. The tour combines local history, playful learning, and cultural enrichment with a clear focus on participation.

From Königsplatz in Kassel to the Experience Field of the Senses

The joint start at Königsplatz in Kassel first takes the group out of the city to Kaufungen. There, the guided tour in the Sensory Trails begins, an experience field for the development of the senses in the vaulted chambers of the former brickworks. Around 50 stations offer a varied approach to seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching.

Dark Path, Sound Spaces, and Optical Illusions

Especially impressive is the Dark Path, where perception suddenly becomes an intense experience. The experience is complemented by sound stations, scent impressions, and optical illusions that show how sensitive and fascinating our senses can be. The industrial architecture of the renovated kiln enhances this atmosphere in an authentic way.

Inclusion with Heart and Practical Support

The excursion is aimed at people with and without disabilities and is also possible for wheelchair users. The trip from Kassel to Kaufungen and back is free of charge, as is participation itself. However, there is no accessible toilet on-site, and the ground is partly uneven. Those who require support through German Sign Language should register in advance by June 10.

An Excursion for the Curious, Families, and Explorer Groups

The tour appeals to all who want to combine urban history, cultural heritage, and sensory experience in a compact excursion. The mix of shared travel, guided tour, and return trip to Kassel makes the format particularly uncomplicated and group-friendly. Anyone wanting to experience Kassel and the region from a different perspective will find here an inspiring approach.

Conclusion: This excursion opens the door to a world where perception comes alive and inclusion is practically experienceable. Register now and secure an extraordinary day full of impressions and encounters.
