April 14, 2026, Himmelsscheibe Visitor Center

Exhibition in an exceptional building. The focus is, of course, on the discovery of the 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 snacks, and cakes. Admission (as of 04/26) Adults €9.50. A look into the UFO or the find spot of the Sky Disk with a viewing tower about 3 kilometers away is also recommended.

The church in Leimbach near Querfurt offers a peaceful, authentic atmosphere far from the tourist crowds. One might ask whether a remote, small place is really worth seeing, but it is precisely this seclusion that creates space for undisturbed discovery: In the park next door, a beautiful old stone bridge arch has been preserved, miraculously still standing.
