Dons boss Craig Brown is putting the finishing touches to a comprehensive programme that will put his squad through their paces in a week-long training camp in Germany.
During that time, the team will face three games against German opposition as they take on VfB Alstatte, Bundesliga side Werden Bremen and the much-rumoured match against FC St. Pauli.
The Dons will also face local opposition in the form of Arbroath and Elgin during the pre-season.
