House by the lake  (HAUS AM SEE)

Where once excavators dug for lignite, flooding has transformed the Muldenstein open mine into an impressive reservoir. The HAUS AM SEE, an information center for environment and nature conservation on the northern shore of the reservoir, tells the story of how a natural idyll rose where once excavators ruled supreme.

The exhibition comprises over 80 native animal specimens, petting skins, a large butterfly collection, information panels, a beehive and much more. Guided tours through the exhibition, excursions along the local nature trail, lectures on nature-related topics, vacation programs and creative workshops are also on offer. Plus, a camera records current events at an osprey nest. The images are then shown live on a large screen in the HAUS AM SEE, where guides are happy to explain what is going on.

We can tailor programs for groups of all ages upon advance registration.
