The Palaeon houses the oldest spears known to man. These were excavated in the former Schöningen opencast mine. The Palaeon was built to study the many finds. It houses a museum and a restaurant.

Hiking

The presentation of the "Schöninger Spears" found here is a rather expensive affair due to the enormous subsidies for the taxpayer. Admission for adults EUR 9.00.
