Interesting exhibition about the sky disc. The visitor center also offers a café and a planetarium. There you can see a short film (20 minutes) on the formation and interpretation of the sky disk. When you've already covered a few kilometers, it's difficult to stay awake in the dark in a comfortable chair. ;-)

You should plan enough time for a visit, because there is a lot to discover. On the nearby Mittelberg you have a wonderful view over the landscape from a lookout tower. The monastery and the imperial palace of Memleben (4.6 kilometers away) are also definitely worth a visit.

Arche Nebra

Highlight • Monument

The entrance fee includes a 20-minute film in the planetarium that explains the function (s) of the Nebra Sky Disk. I found the exhibition very interesting and well done.

The place where the sky disc was found on the Mittelberg and the ark are connected by a well-signposted, almost three-kilometer-long hiking trail. The ascent to the 30 meter high tower is definitely worth it.

Himmelsscheibe Visitor Center

Highlight • Rest Area

Exhibition in an exceptional building. The focus is, of course, on the discovery of the Sky Disk and its connections. You should plan 1-2 hours for the exhibition and the film in the planetarium. Those who can't take any more should refresh themselves in the café. There are drinks, small snacks, and cakes. Admission (as of 04/26) Adults €9.50. A look into the UFO or the find spot of the Sky Disk with a viewing tower about 3 kilometers away is also recommended.

Nebra Sky Disc discovery site

Highlight • Historical Site

A 30-meter-high observation tower inclined at ten degrees was built near the site. The tower was divided by a vertical cut in the line of sight to the Brocken. These and other visual axes to important points in the area were visualized on the ground using labeled concrete strips. The climb to the tower is definitely worth it and is rewarded with a magnificent view. The Nebra Arch is also clearly visible from up there. Due to the relatively closed staircase and the solid concrete design - including at the top - the tower is also suitable for people who do not feel comfortable at high altitudes. In winter, however, access is blocked in bad weather.

Very futuristic but definitely worth a visit, also because of the view all the way to the Brocken.
