Exhibition in an extraordinary building. At the center is, of course, the discovery of the Nebra sky disk and its connections. You should plan 1-2 hours for the exhibition and the film in the planetarium. Those who can't take any more should refresh themselves in the café. There are drinks, small meals, and cakes. Admission (as of 04/26) Adults €9.50. A look into the UFO or the find spot of the Nebra sky disk with an observation tower about 3 kilometers away is also recommended.

With its church tower at the northwest corner of the nave, this is a rather atypical church building for this region. The church tower is largely still in its original condition.

I don't know if I, as a cyclist, should consider this a highlight. In any case, cyclists can now get through (dismounting, because it's so narrow), while drivers have to take detours.
