to the interactive exhibition “Wildnis(t)räume” (“Dreams of Wilder-ness”) in the Eifel National Park Centre:
Experience indigenous natural forests, fascinating water worlds and an abun-dance of large and small natural wonders of the Eifel and the world.
Explorers of all ages can experience the diverse nature of the National Park with all their senses across the 2,000 m² exhibition. Tactile animal models, a memory bank of smells, the soft fur of a beaver and many more interactive stations provide visitors with one astoun-ding discovery after another. Experience the environment through the compound eye of an insect or get up close with the second-largest wild herbivorous animal in Germany – the red deer.
Come and get involved - with the “dream” of wilderness!
The Eifel National Park is situated in one of the most picturesque and pristine natural regions in Germany. Dense forests, steep valleys, rivers and lakes – it is worth visiting the National Park Centre for the views over the Urft reservoir alone.
Since 2004, the environment in the 11,000 hectare protected area between Aachen, Cologne and Bonn has been largely left to nature to create a “virgin forest of tomorrow”. Scientists have already proven the existence of over 10,000 animal, fungi and plant species here; over 2,300 of these are on the “Red List” – this means that they are either endangered or threatened with extinction.
at the International Place Vogelsang IP:
the “Dreams of Wilderness” interactive exhibition is situated in the heart of the Eifel National Park at the International Place Vogelsang IP. In addition to visiting the exhibition, it is an ideal starting point for guided ranger tours and horse-drawn carriage rides. It also lies on the route of the challenging multi-day hiking trails known as the Wilderness Trail and Eifelsteig.
The site has had an eventful history – the National Socialists began building the “Ordensburg Vogelsang” here in 1934. The site used to serve as a training ground for the next generation of leaders of the NSDAP. After the Second World War, the site was used as a British and then as a Belgian military training area. Nowadays, it is an international centre for tolerance, diversity and peaceful coexistence.
We invite you to touch the exhibits as you walk around the exhibition, which is also a sensory experience for the visually and physically impaired people thanks to the barrier-free guidance system.
The key content is conveyed in German, English, French and Dutch, and is additionally available in German in simple language, raised print and in Braille.
Media guides can be hired. They provide information in several different languages and in German sign language.
All rooms, including the bathroom facilities, are accessible to wheelchairs, buggies and rollators. There are plenty of places to sit and rest in the exhibiti-on.
