Start of the Planetenweg Borken

Interesting facts on the tour, in beautiful nature 🌳🌲🌊💚

GeneralPlanet trails are attractive because they offer the opportunity to not only exercise but also to mentally stimulate yourself with the information boards. The almost natural division of the entire route into the distances between the planets also gives a tangible impression of the dimensions in the solar system - as the distance from the sun increases, the distance between the planets also increases, so the travel times between two planets increase significantly towards the outside. While it is only 150 meters from the sun via Mercury and Venus to the earth, the hiker has to cover almost 700 meters between the neighboring planets Jupiter and Saturn. The scale models of the planets also give an idea of the size. On a scale of 1:1 billion, the earth is a blue marble with a diameter of just under 13 mm, while the largest planet Jupiter is almost 15 cm and the ball of the sun, with a diameter of around 1.4 meters, visibly dominates all other celestial bodies.

A planet walk has been set up around the Pröbstingsee. The planets are at scale distance from each other. Nice walk for curious Kids. Along the way there are also beautiful play areas, nice lazing areas.
