Hiking

In the visitor quarry you can rent hammers and chisels for a small fee and search for fossils. Maybe we can find a new Archeopteryx?

Hiking

Great opportunity to find fossils yourself. Even if no large specimens are found, it is still fun for the children (as well as the adults). :)

Primeval times for home - in the quarry on the Blumenberg, amateur paleontologists go looking for fossils.
