Kaolin, also called white earth or white clay, is the most important raw material for porcelain production. The multi-media adventure exhibition for hearing, seeing, marveling and playing for adults and children revolves around kaolin and Europe's largest narrow-gauge network. The exhibition begins with the geological formation of kaolin, makes it possible to experience kaolin extraction in civil engineering and in today's open-cast mining, presents the history of the narrow-gauge network and Mügeln train station and shows the industrial use of kaolin, especially in the ceramic industry.

Hiking

Once the largest narrow-gauge railway station in Europe, it is a historic experience for railway fans and those who like history. Super restored, and now also has a geology center.
