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

Stone age valley near Siegsdorf.
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.
Impact
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.
