Whether adults or children, alone or in a large group, here you can learn a lot about our planet and the sustainable use of it. Lately there are even sleeping places in cozy clay and wooden houses.

Even without a guide, a walk through the Lias pit is very interesting and there is a lot to discover.

A beautiful site with a wealth of information about various habitat types such as still waters, lean lowland meadows and tall herbaceous vegetation. The 17-hectare former clay quarry, following successful renaturation, offers the best conditions for sustainable development.
