ATTRACTIONS
The chalk museum is a small but interesting museum at the place of an old chalk quarry. You can learn about all the different types of chalk, how they are produced, and for what it is used. The healing chalk for example is used to treat rheumatic troubles and osteoporosis, and other diseases. But the museum is not only about chalk, you also get some information about geology and there are exhibitions about different types of stones.
Outside you can have a look at the chalk quarry and some of the equipment that was used. There also is a path up to the highest cliff which they call „little Königsstuhl“, after it’s big brother in the Jasmund National Park.
