Editing 100 things to do in Karlsruhe

{{Karlsruhe}}
* August: See all the museums at the [http://www.kamuna.de/ KaMuNa].
* Get nostalgic and play old arcades like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man Pac-Man] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_kombat Mortal Kombat] (almost) for free at [http://www.retrogames.info/ Retrogames]. Only on 1. tuesday each month at 7pm and every saturday at 9pm. Combine that with a visit to the artsy [http://gotec-club.de/ Gotec club] then.
* Go to a [http://www.studentenpartys.com/?stadt=Karlsruhe students party]: The big ones (mostly free) are Z10 Sommer/Winterfest, AKK Sommer/Winterfest, Z10 Cocktailabend, [http://www.unifest-karlsruhe.de/ UStA Sommer/Winterfest] (small entry fee), HaDiKo Sommer/Winterfest, [http://parkplatzfest.net/ Parkplatzfest]. Additionally, there are lots of smaller parties at [http://www.hadiko.de/ HaDiKo], the various [http://www.kit.edu/studieren/fakultaeten.php departments of university], at [http://z10.info/ Z10] and [http://www.akk.org/ AKK].
* Indulge in some very German [http://frankfurt-on-foot-cityguide.blogspot.de/2009/05/sauna-etiquette.html mixed gender nude sauna spa]: [http://www.ka-baeder.de/vierordtbad/ Vierordtbad], [https://maps.google.de/maps?q=Vierordtbad,+Ettlinger+Stra%C3%9Fe,+Karlsruhe&hl=de&ie=UTF8&ll=49.00177,8.402953&spn=0.001992,0.004823&sll=48.770672,9.008789&sspn=4.098561,9.876709&oq=vierordtbad&hq=Vierordtbad,&hnear=Ettlinger+Stra%C3%9Fe,+Karlsruhe&t=m&z=18 Ettlinger Strasse 4] is a nice one and in the middle of the city, the pool must be used with swim wear. If you've never done it before, read the [http://www.saunashop.co.uk/res/user/3248_rules-a4-card-600x410.jpg instructions] carefully. Don't confuse this with "Sauna-Clubs" or "FKK-Clubs" which are erotic venues. Afterwards, a pizza and beer at [https://maps.google.de/maps?q=Wolfsbr%C3%A4u,+Werderstra%C3%9Fe,+Karlsruhe&hl=de&ie=UTF8&ll=49.001714,8.407942&spn=0.001992,0.004823&sll=49.001626,8.407717&sspn=0.001992,0.004823&oq=Wolfsbr%C3%A4u,+Karlsruhe&hq=Wolfsbr%C3%A4u,&hnear=Werderstra%C3%9Fe,+76137+Karlsruhe&t=m&z=18 Wolfsbräu] tastes even better.
* Go swimming in one of the many [http://www.karlsruhe-tourismus.de/erleben/natur-und-entspannung/baggerseen-karlsruhe-umgebung lakes around Karlsruhe]: Baggersee Weingarten ([http://www.kvv.de/fahrplanauskunft.html S1, S2, S3 to Weingarten(Baden)] + 10 min walk) has public barbecue grills and facilities, Epplesee Forchheim ([http://www.kvv.de/fahrplanauskunft.html S2, S4 Forchheim] + 10 min walk) is easily reachable by S-Bahn as well, Streitköpflesee Linkenheim ([http://www.kvv.de/fahrplanauskunft.html S1, S11 Linkenheim Rathaus] + 20 min walk) has a nice peninsula. At night, grab a car and go skinny dipping with your friends but keep in mind: parking is forbidden at night, you'll get a ticket! At Streitköpflesee Linkenheim, you can park outside the gate for free.
* Have a last minute picnic at [http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=49.014719,8.40452 Schlossgarten]: Go shopping at [https://maps.google.de/maps?q=Edeka+Aktivmarkt,+Fritz-Erler-Stra%C3%9Fe+1-3,+Karlsruhe&hl=de&ie=UTF8&sll=49.009102,8.410635&sspn=0.000996,0.002411&oq=EDEKA,+Fritz-Erler-Stra%C3%9Fe+1-3,+karlsruhe&hq=Edeka+Aktivmarkt,&hnear=Fritz-Erler-Stra%C3%9Fe+1,+Innenstadt-Ost+76133+Karlsruhe&t=m&z=16 EDEKA], buy the best [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretzel pretzels] in town from the bakery, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obatzda Obazda] from the cheese/dairy product section and fresh pre-cooled "Kühler Krug" beer from the fridge (alternatively, a six-pack of [https://www.google.de/search?q=tannenz%C3%A4pfle&client=ubuntu&hs=j7B&channel=fs&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=8I7nU_e1F67H7Aa46oHADQ&ved=0CC0QsAQ&biw=1280&bih=628 Zäpfle] or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radler beer-lemonade mix] [https://www.google.de/search?q=h%C3%B6pfner+grape&client=ubuntu&hs=Z8B&channel=fs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=JI_nU-28OLLA7AaR3IGQDg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=628 Höpfner Grape]).

* Drink cheaply and meet students at [http://z10.info/ Z10] (Mon, Wed, Fri during lecture season). Friday comes with special events, always free of charge.
* Play roulette with [http://www.erna-hats.de/ Erna], [https://maps.google.de/maps?q=die+erna+hats,+karlsruhe&hl=de&ll=49.005692,8.409685&spn=0.000996,0.002411&sll=48.770672,9.008789&sspn=4.098561,9.876709&t=m&z=19&iwloc=A Kriegsstrasse 5]: Enter money and random numbers, be happy about what life gave you.
