Planet Trail - Earth

The planetary trail is right next to the bike path and is very educational.

On the planetary nature trail, the first in the world for blind and sighted people, you can experience the huge distances and huge differences in size.
It leads from the south from the sun in Cappeler Feld along the cycle path on the Lahn to Pluto at the train station bridge in Marburg.
The solar system is mapped on a scale of 1:1 billion over a distance of 6 km (1 m in the model corresponds to 1 million km in reality); The earth shrinks to the size of a hazelnut.
A total of nine planets are presented to scale: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
