Interactive exhibition - Time travel over four storeys

The interactive exhibition „We bring nature‘s secrets to light“ is at the heart of the Visitor's Centre experience. On four storeys, visitors move through acoustically staged rooms and are playfully introduced to the secrets of the Cretaceous landscape. And the best thing is: every time traveller gets an audio guide and earphones – even the children! While the theme for the adult audio guide is „curiosity“, children are guided through the exhibition with amusing stories told by Mimi, the mouse and Krax, the raven.

The reds of the early morning sun reflect off the chalk cliffs. Dark layers of flint become visible in the white chalk, majestic beech trees weather the storm and an eagle presides over the landscape. This is a scenery that has long inspired artists.

Here it is dark and warm and smells of humus. In the shine of torches, you can discover creepy crawlies in the soil. A narrow tunnel allows our smallest visitors crawl in even further.

They still exist, the last vestiges of untouched nature. Often only tiny areas remain – as in Jasmund National Park. Jasmund is one of the smallest national parks in the world and requires our very special protection.
