Caligari may be closed – but with us, you’ll still get to see films!
On German Unity Day, we’re bringing together two passions that rarely get to enjoy each other’s company: cycling & films!

Together with the ADFC Wiesbaden / Rheingau-Taunus, we invite you to a special bike tour featuring eight short films at five different locations in Wiesbaden.
