We were interested in seeing this Unesco heritage pile dwelling. It is certainly worth a visit and very interesting to see it reconstructed but there are some things that impact the overall rating. Firstly, it is strange to have a Unesco heritage with no direct parking facilities. Instead you have to park your car approx. 1,5 km away for at least 5€. The train which runs between the parking area and the heritage grounds cost another 3.50€ and you are only allowed to take small dogs on your lap and not on the floor of the cabins (due to 23 apparent years experience of the train owner stating dogs leave dirt behind - what a ridiculous statement when human beings sitting in the same cabin leave probably more dirt behind from their shoes). We had to walk because we had a Labrador! The entrance cost 12€/person. At the start there were several guides walking around and this is the second negative rating. I did not like their tone stating you have now get together with a group. We did not want to walk with a group of others and decided to neglect that request. The third negative impact was another guide who asked me to get up and not block the way.

The heritage is certainly worth a visit if you also take into account the above mentioned negatives that might impact your opinion of...

Maybe they could have few more professionals there explaining and demonstrating the way of work and how they used those tools back then. Yesterday they had one at least which was nice.
But what I do not understand is the fact, and now after living here in Germany and after several museums we’ve visited, they are all in Germany. I don’t recall any longer if e.g. Dachau was only ”auf Deutsch”…. I can read and speak German quite okay but I doubt that’s not the case for many other tourists there like my Asian wife. Few times I had to...
Read moreIf you want to step into prehistoric life, this is the place to go. Very thoughtful and great reconstruction of the living conditions of our ancestors. Parking is uptown so a little bit of a walk is involved to get there. Also the area around the museum is to be recommended, nice beach, restaurants and overall amusement.
When you enter the museum it starts with an immersive multimedia experience to bring you closer to the scenery and set the expectation of...
