Throughout the tour, Rehlinger visited various associations, including the Verein zur Förderung der Dorfentwicklung Hoof e.V. and the Garden and Flower Friends Alsweiler. During her visit to Hoof, Rehlinger participated in a boules tournament and praised the association for its contribution to society. She stated that they show where our fruit and vegetables come from and give the right tips for plant care and further processing of the harvest. That's lived sustainability, according to Rehlinger.

She also visited the Jugendforum Mettlach in Saarholzbach, a tent camp that has been a highlight for around 80 children for over 30 years.
