What is there to do on Smith Barracks in Baumholder Germany?|127203

We are moving there at the end of this year and I would like to know from people that have lived there what it_s like. Also what it_s like off post and what is there to do in the city of Baumholder.

I was not stationed there for my tour of Germany, I was at Fliegerhourse Kassern out of Hanau.

I would take USO tours al over Germany. The boat trip on the Rhine was just wonderful. Trips to Paris and London were also great. Don_t miss Heidelburg, if you don_t go you_ll regret it.

I also took trips to Italy. Lake Como was very expensive, but worth every penny.

Look around, enjoy

The EM, NCO or Officers clubs sometimes put on shows.

Baumholder is a small town and there_s not much going on in it. In fact, there_s really not much to do in that part of Germany because it_s mostly used for industry and military purposes. Baumholder can be really boring if you stay on post and don_t get out of the area.

The good news is you_re in Europe! You can spend your weekends exploring and sight seeing. MWR offers cheap trips for government officials and their family members.

On post activities include the movie theater, PX, shooting ranges, indoor swimming, gyms, track _ field activities, education center (for college courses), library, fast food (burger king, popeyes, anthony_s pizza, taco bell), and commissary. There_s more, but that_s just off the top of my head.

The weather is horrible! Baumholder is at a high elevation and you_re going to see lots of clouds, rain, and snow (the last couple of years have been light winters).

Soldiers stationed there are constantly in the field or deployed. It_s all about training there.

To make the best of your stay, I_d suggest getting out of Baumholder as much as possible. Take advantage of being in Europe and enjoy the culture.
