Guided castle tour at Niederburg Manderscheid Castle - welcome

In addition to an interactive introduction to volcanology and rock science for budding volcanologists, in this workshop we dedicate ourselves to individual accessible volcanoes and what they offer and can be seen in them. We will look for interesting stones and minerals, learn about their differences in colour, hardness and other properties and then know, for example, whether they are of volcanic origin.Sturdy shoes and (weather) appropriate clothing are recommended. Photo equipment, magnifying glass, container for rock samples are useful.

We will start with a vintage bus from the 1950s from Ahütte and, for the onward journey in Kalterherberg, connect to pedal-powered bicycle railcars. Upon returning to Ahütte, there will be an opportunity to dine in the train station's restaurant (not included in the price) Participation is only by prior registration.
