Guided tours and programs

Guided tours

Guided tours can be booked on request. Please send us an e-mail to rieskratermuseum@noerdlingen.de stating your preferred date, group size, type of group (e.g. school class/family/…) and contact details for any queries.

Due to our limited staff for guided tours, we cannot always guarantee that a guided tour will be possible on your desired date (especially for last-minute requests and in the period from June to September). However, we will do our best to make a guided tour possible for all interested parties.

The fees for guided tours can be found in the visitor information.

Please note that we can only offer very limited guided tours from 06. August 2024 to 25. August 2024 due to the vacation period and low staffing levels.

Museum rallye

The museum rally is a project of the Chair of Didactics of Geography at the University of Augsburg (Martin Müller) to promote high-quality learning processes in the RiesKraterMuseum by means of didactically prepared materials.

Objectives:

A holistic view of the diverse contextual relationships of the earth-human system: the Giant event as the starting point for complex systemic processes that still have an impact today: Agriculture as an adaptation to natural conditions, utilization of the rocks, tourism, etc.
Expanded concept of learning: methodical-strategic, social and personal learning.
Constructivist learning: self-direction at selected points, consideration of subjectivity, activation of students, action orientation.
All in all: Awakening and promoting interest in geoscientific content.
