The area is freely accessible. At the entrance, further information panels explain which dinosaur species have involuntarily immortalized themselves here and how to identify their respective footprints. You can also learn why this oft-quoted "chicken coop" is so special: It is likely a ford used by many different species to cross a lagoon. The arrangement of the footprints provided new insights into their social behavior. The young animals were apparently protected and moved in the middle of the herd, much like many animal species do today in the African savannah. And allosaurs apparently hunted in groups in their youth – this was also a new discovery. A path made of non-slip stainless steel gratings leads across the small plain littered with footprints (also barrier-free). Here, you can finally get a hands-on look at this wonder. The seabed, rippled by the waves, is visible, and then, scattered across the square, countless, wonderfully clearly recognizable tracks of Iguanodon, Allosaurus, Triceratops, and the rest. There are no barriers; everything is literally history you can touch. Ferns and horsetail appropriately spread in some of the rock crevices. And, free of charge, there's a view from the platform railing into the active quarry, where heavy machinery is working on the trackless sandstone.
