Hiking

Great idea to present the planets of our solar system - and the sun itself - clearly with robust boards and models. Not only interesting for children! And hiking becomes much more varied.

Hiking

In 2010, a planetary trail was opened with the observatory Feuerstein as the center. The path and the models are created on a scale of 1: 3,000,000,000. Lifting weights at the planetary stations illustrate the different gravitational accelerations.

Hiking

Along the hiking trail you will find true-to-scale models of our solar system with 1kg masses in order to practically feel the weight on other celestial bodies. Detailed information on display boards
