Unfortunately, the facility has aged a bit and the exhibition is no longer didactically modern. Some exhibits are defective, pictures are faded, and the aquarium panes are mossy. A barrier made of construction fence elements has been standing at the tower for more than 2 years. The content is interesting, but more could be made of it.

In my opinion, in moderate traffic, the road is clearly the better alternative.

The scenic route. Not a shortcut, but still a very nice, almost car-free alternative to the parallel county road with an entertaining, winding route through idyllic countryside and villages. Highly recommended.
