Rhineland-Palatinate Stork Center
With a permanent exhibition, the Stork Center offers visitors of all ages the opportunity to explore various topics related to the stork and its habitat at interactive stations. The permanent exhibition is divided into three thematic areas. The basement is dedicated to the myth of the stork. What significance do storks have for humans? In the first room of the upper floor, everything revolves around the life of the stork. The green room on the upper floor allows an insight into the environment of the white stork and the black stork. In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are special exhibitions that deal with different topics.
From mid-March to the end of July, guided tours take place every Wednesday along the stork nests up to the care station for storks. Individual visits and guided tours from 10 persons are possible after consultation.
