Pömmelte Ring Sanctuary: Stone Age in Saxony-Anhalt
Activities: We parked and walked on a path of green glass shards. We explored the wooden structure, looked at the information boards, and climbed the observation tower for a better overview. We then walked inside the wooden circle, looking at different trenches and pits
Highlights: The kids liked the idea that it might have been used to tell the time. We liked the way the information was presented, without any romanticizing. The kids also liked the idea that the structures may be aligned with the sun during solstices. It was also cool for the kids to think about inter-cultural dialogue 4000 years ago ✨
