2 Journey Switzerland In Switzerland the path leads through craggy rock formations, to the summit cross and into the glacier cave which is actually frozen. It smells of alpine meadows, cow and hay. Sardinia Visitors move around the second stop of the journey, Sardinia, as if they had shrunk to the size of an insect amongst oversized insects and blades of grass. The butterfly effect is put to the test in the dented can.

3 Antarctica The polar climate of Antarctica means ice cold in this exhibition area, the walls and the floor are covered with real ice and the temperatures are below -6 C. Even though the visitors really get to feel the cool climate, they do not need a scarf - after a short walk, they will reach the warmth of the polar station, which is rebuilt true to the original. Samoa Through a green botanical canyon, visitors reach a sandy beach. More than 30 C, warm sand and palm trees invite the visitors to linger. A staircase leads to the aquaria of the exotic underwater world of a fringing reef. Photo: Marcus Meyer Fringing reef Samoa Visitors can explore the exotic underwater world of a fringing reef.
