Lüneburg: How simple salt can be so exciting!
Activities: We spent more than five hours at the Deutsches Salzmuseum. We learned about the thousand-year history of salt mining. We followed the paths of the Benedictine monks and experimented with the crystalline form of salt under a microscope. We also saw an old, large salt pan
Highlights: The kids loved experimenting with salt and seeing the different colors it creates. Silas said, "I wouldn't have thought there was so much to know about salt!" We all thought the museum was very well-presented and exciting ✨
