    You just pass some dinosaur replicas and follow the way up. Also for children no problem. Above you stand in front of the huge tracks and can study some boards.
    The place is outside and does not cost entry.
    Translated by
    The dinosaur tracks of Barkhausen are a natural monument in a disused quarry in the Linner Berg near Barkhausen on the Hunte, a district of the Lower Saxony municipality of Bad Essen in the district of Osnabrück.

    On the bedding planes of the rock, which is about 150 million years old (Middle Kimmeridgian), fossil tracks (sequences of fossil footprints) of sauropod and theropod dinosaurs from the late Upper Jurassic (Malm) are exposed.
