Barkhausen Dinosaur Tracks

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

Even during the week there is sometimes very little traffic, on the weekend mornings you are almost alone.
