    Tips

    In the Neanderthal Museum you can meet our distant relatives, the Neanderthals. Its architecture is also remarkable: a concrete building with a curved façade made of Japanese glass. Inside a ramp ramps up, following the exhibition. It was renewed in autumn 2016 and is now state of the art. Particularly impressive are the faithful replicas of Neanderthals - adults and children. Here you are really close to look your distant relatives in the eye. Incidentally, the museum is not in public hands, it is supported by a foundation and largely self-financing.

        The real find site is also very close to the museum - the walkway that pictures the history of the earth was particularly exciting
