National Park Center

Discover secrets in the exhibition at the National Park Center

Swing through the treetops for a test. Encounter huge, tiny animals. Watch the wild cat hunt. Be surprised at what our World Heritage Site has to offer.

In films or in texts on huge picture walls, at adventure stations or interactive elements, on your own or with an expert guide - the National Park Center at Thiemsburg Castle reveals all the treasures of the Hainich National Park to its visitors, and children will also find lots of exciting things in the exhibition. They can play, do handicrafts, experiment and discover. And when they are exhausted, they can listen to stories in a cozy corner. One of the many highlights is the root cave, which opened in 2016.
