Learning in a national park? How boring. Think again! Here, on the northern edge of the Hainich National Park, there is a real research station for children.

At the environmental education station (UBiS), nature can be experienced with all the senses. School classes, kindergarten groups and youth research groups come and go here.

The national park staff have lovingly and enthusiastically converted and decorated the former military garage. Wooden beams, non-slip walls with animal tracks and real fossils, a wild wooden gallery and a dark wildcat labyrinth underneath - all built from natural raw materials and Hainich wood. And in a way that makes learning fun.

A ranger is available daily from April to October to answer any questions you may have about the national park.
