Brotterode Children's Tour
GeoRoute 12
Geheimnis Erde - Georouten für Schüler
When did the supercontinent Pangaea form? What can be extracted from ores? How is a sedimentary rock formed? And: How can I recognise it? The cairn explains these exciting questions on large, child-friendly explanatory panels. The tour leads through and around the mountain town of Brotterode and is particularly suitable for school classes in the lower grades. A quiz accompanies the children on their discovery tour.
