GPS City Rally in Krefeld - Why here?
Krefeld, the "Velvet and Silk City" on the left Lower Rhine, combines elegant industrial history with modern quality of life. The city impresses with magnificent villas from the textile industry era, the medieval Linn Castle, and one of the most beautiful zoos in Germany. The German Textile Museum, the green Stadtwald forest, and proximity to the Rhine make Krefeld a versatile destination for team events.
The mix of medieval castle grounds, elegant industrialist villas, and modern Bauhaus architecture makes Krefeld a surprisingly diverse playing field. Around 50 tasks lead your team through different districts - sometimes it's about textile history, sometimes about creative team photos, sometimes about tricky logic puzzles.
