Residenzstadt Zeitz: There's light under the bushel, Cinderella!
Activities: We participated in a guided Taschenlampenführung (flashlight tour). "The Lichtkegel (light cones) lead our gaze specifically to certain aspects of industrial history." The kids used their flashlights to find hidden treasure chests with riddles and treasure tasks. We got a good overview of how things were produced here
Highlights: The Taschenlampenführung (flashlight tour) was made super fun for the kids. "The Jungs have just a lot of fun." Martin was interested in the technology and the museum's educational concept delighted me. The Jungs had fun looking for treasure chests ✨
