We parked at the Bahnhof Neanderthal P2 parking area. From there it is about half a mile to the museum. The path from the Bahnhof to the museum is downhill but obviously on return it becomes a small climb. Part of it also passes through the thickly forested hillside behind the museum. The museum displays were quite informative. Life-size reconstructions of various hominin species including the Turkana boy, Lucy and Australopithecus Sediba were quite impressive. A full size adult Neanderthal wearing a suit and standing at the gallery was a nice touch. It shows how similar our cousins were to us. The tower in the valley takes you above the tree tops and gives you a 360 degree view of the valley. Unfortunately the cave where the first Neanderthal fossils were found no longer exists. During our visit there were a lot of school groups also visiting the museum. Most younger children were well behaved and were listening to their teachers but a lot of teenagers were creating a racket and were in general making a nuisance of themselves. Therefore it was almost impossible to hear the commentary on the audio guides at various stations. Overall its a very good place to visit if you wish to know a bit about our long lost cousins.
