Children's adventure program "Rock detectives" in the Gerolsteiner Land

The children explore the world of fossils, rocks and minerals. In the Gerolstein Natural History Museum, the little explorers are first shown the three main types of rock - basalt, dolomite and limestone - and are told which minerals and fossils can be found in them. Then the rock detectives set off on an expedition into the world of rocks and volcanoes. The path leads across the Kyll River and the Gerolstein Dolomites to the "Geoacker". There the children dive into the world of stones and find, examine and determine the main rock types, fossils and minerals. With sieves, volcanic ash is sieved off and taken home in plastic jars. Parents pick up the young researchers and their treasures at the Geoacker below the Pelmer Kasselburg.
