'Siegsdorf Stone Age' Tourism in Harmony with Nature and the Environment

Through this project, the life of our forefathers in the stone age is shown and can be experienced in a virgin landscape, as part of DYNLP. Activities forgotten for a long time, such as fire lighting , cereal grinding or tools production are part of the offer, that must contribute to provide wood experience and environmental awareness deep in the souls of the population.

Aims:

Creation of synergetic effects in environmentally compatible tourism, with environmental education. Promotion of tourism throughout the region. Increase in the occupancy rates of accommodation facilities and mediation of nature-related programmes for schoolchildren and holidaymakers and especially also for families.

Realization:

In collaboration with the museum of natural history and the mammoth museum in Siegsdorf a concept is developed that, through the appropriate implementation of the offer, can become a symbol.

Raising of the local awareness of nature, culture and history through environmental education. Local tourism economy is based on the "town of the stone age" and is therefore attractive, which will contribute to better use of the accommodation providers. An offer to be enjoyed has been devised for students, within the framework of natural history lessons.
