A paradise for travel and outdoor enthusiasts – The travel bookstore on Herrenstraße in Karlsruhe

Where are the residents of Karlsruhe traveling this year? The travel bookstore at Herrenstraße 33 in Karlsruhe offers some great ideas.

In March 2010, two true "travel book professionals" ventured into self-employment – and the travel bookstore was born. Surveyor and cartographer Michael Oberdorfer and Volker Hager, who spent many years expanding and managing the travel book department at BuchKaiser, joined forces to share their great passion, travel, with others. Their joint travel bookstore can be found in both Karlsruhe and Heidelberg.
