36 meters below the surface, a world opens up that served as an iron ore mine until 1924. Discover Germany's oldest geological point with rocks from the deep sea and admire the witnesses of past mining times in the small museum: tools, commemorative coins and valuable measuring instruments. A journey through time, embedded in the Thuringian Forest Unesco Biosphere Reserve.

Embark on a journey of discovery through 12 hectares of nature, where you can experience moose, ibex, lynxes and a variety of birds up close. Here you will find not only native but also endangered species, observe storks in their winter quarters and get to know Australian parrots in the walk-in lori aviary. A place where interesting facts about Europe's fauna are conveyed in a playful way and where respect for nature is promoted.
