Further topics are the most important habitats and an interesting three-dimensional relief which shows the morphology of the area. Along helical ramps, the different floors of the visitor centre can be reached.
For the little ones there are terrariums and a kids' corner with plays. Furthermore, in Daksy's Kids' Workshop children between 6 and 12 years can do handicrafts with natural materials and find out more about nature playfully.
