AMETHYST ADVENTURE! The school program

Immerse yourself in the magical world of gemstones!

GUIDED TOURS ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Attention adventurers! The exciting search for your personal amethyst to take home awaits you in the treasure mine. If you'd rather experience a real gold digging atmosphere, you can choose between discovering sparkling fool's gold, colorful gemstones or 30-million-year-old fossils in the covered gold panning facility. The find is yours, of course! The extensive adventure playground and the animal adventure forest with rabbits, chickens and goats also provide plenty of fun. Both indoors and outdoors, there are plenty of cozy spots for a refreshing treasure hunt snack in between.


For kindergartens and school classes, we are happy to open a little earlier in the morning (from 9.30 a.m.) free of charge by prior arrangement.

Group tours are also available on closed days.
