この地点で最高地点に到達し、その後、AuetalへのKammwegの尾根道からの眺めという形でご褒美が待っています。

The dinosaur tracks in the Bückeberg sandstone quarries are among the most impressive relics of prehistoric times in Northern Germany. In the sandstone layers of the former Obernkirchen quarry, dinosaur footprints have been preserved, dating back approximately 140 million years, when this area was a flat coastal landscape with lagoons and wet sandy areas. Various dinosaur species roamed these soft soils, leaving their tracks in the sand that hardened over time. Both tracks of herbivorous dinosaurs and the typical three-toed footprints of carnivorous species are visible. The sheer number and density of the preserved tracks hint at just how teeming this landscape must have been in the early Cretaceous period. Today, the tracks lie exposed in the rock, offering a direct glimpse into a long-vanished world where enormous animals roamed what is now the Schaumburg region. Today the quarry is part of a protected natural and recreational area and is integrated into a nature trail that introduces visitors to the origin of the traces, the environment at that time and the geological significance of the Bückeberge.

Very beautiful, historic building 🏰 in a spacious park 🌲🌳 worth seeing 💯🔝👍🏻😉🍂🍁

The view is well worth it. Admission is €1; open until 6:00 PM in summer, with a small museum and a bistro.

As a widow's residence, it's certainly not so bad. But as a place for training, it's certainly more sensible.

The area is freely accessible. At the entrance, further information panels explain which dinosaur species have involuntarily immortalized themselves here and how to identify their respective footprints. You can also learn why this oft-quoted "chicken coop" is so special: It is likely a ford used by many different species to cross a lagoon. The arrangement of the footprints provided new insights into their social behavior. The young animals were apparently protected and moved in the middle of the herd, much like many animal species do today in the African savannah. And allosaurs apparently hunted in groups in their youth – this was also a new discovery. A path made of non-slip stainless steel gratings leads across the small plain littered with footprints (also barrier-free). Here, you can finally get a hands-on look at this wonder. The seabed, rippled by the waves, is visible, and then, scattered across the square, countless, wonderfully clearly recognizable tracks of Iguanodon, Allosaurus, Triceratops, and the rest. There are no barriers; everything is literally history you can touch. Ferns and horsetail appropriately spread in some of the rock crevices. And, free of charge, there's a view from the platform railing into the active quarry, where heavy machinery is working on the trackless sandstone.

The fossilized tracks of the dinosaurs are 140 million years old.
