Moorbahnfahrt "Von Essiggurken und Moorleichen"

They lay hidden in the bog for hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of years: bog bodies offer you a unique glimpse into the world of our ancestors. During the 135-minute bog train ride with four stops, you’ll learn what finds from all over Europe reveal about life, last meals, clothing, and the circumstances of death during the Bronze and Iron Ages. You’ll learn about how the dead were treated back then, the interpretation of mysterious bog phenomena, as well as discovery sites and research methods. And you can taste for yourself on site why bog bodies are even associated with pickles.
