Here, you'll be invited on a journey through the earth's history, to a time when the Vogelsberg volcanoes were still active. The Vulkaneum in Schotten offers an interactive exhibition that explains the topic of volcanism in a vivid and entertaining way. Across several floors, you'll experience how volcanoes shaped the Vogelsberg, how they still influence it today, and what role the climate, the forces of nature, and humans play in this. Beyond the science, you'll also be introduced to the myths and legends that volcanoes have given rise to. Experimental stations, interactive exhibits, and multimedia installations guide you through the exhibition. This combination of knowledge and entertainment presents the fiery past of the Vogelsberg in a way that is equally interesting for children and adults.tourist-schotten.de/fileadmin/user_upload/tourist-schotten.de/Dateien/Pdf/D_Schotten_Gastgeber-Pocketguide-2020.pdf
