What to expect
The Dinosaurierfährten Bad Essen, also known as Saurierfährten Bad Essen-Barkhausen, is a fascinating place where visitors can see the tracks of dinosaurs that lived 150 million years ago. The site features at least eleven dinosaur trackways, including those of sauropods and theropods, which can be seen on a steep face. The area is now an adventure zone with two dinosaur replicas, detailed information boards, and a circular trail, making it a great place for families to explore and learn about the Earth's history. The site is suitable for children of all ages and is accessible for groups, classes, and individual guests

Bad Essen with children: dinosaurs, brine, half-timbered houses
Activities: We visited the Dinosaurierfährten, which are about ten kilometers outside of the city. We walked about 200 meters uphill to see the dinosaur footprints, which are very well preserved. "We read all the information boards and looked at everything comprehensively." We spent about half an hour there
Highlights: The "footsteps of the primeval giants" are really well preserved and the "entertainment value is good for such a manageable and free attraction." We also enjoyed the "real dinosaurs," the life-size models of a Langhals-Sauropode and a Megalosaurier ✨
