The Thurauen Nature Centre houses the interactive exhibition "Kosmos Auenlandschaft" with an adventure trail through the floodplain forest and is the starting point for excursions for families and groups into the Thurauen.
Let yourself be carried away into the fascinating nature of a living floodplain! The Thurauen Nature Centre has an interactive exhibition entitled "Kosmos Auenlandschaft" with an adventure trail through the floodplain forest and a special exhibition entitled "Wow, a kingfisher". The restaurant, which is run by the TCS, invites you to linger at any time of year with its spacious terrace, fireplace and lounge. The swimming pool, fire pits and playground round off the varied programme for young and old. The nature centre is also the starting point for hikes through the unique Thurauen and families can explore the varied Thurauen adventure trail (start at the Ellikerbrücke car park). Or start your team outing with an exciting guided tour through the largest floodplain conservation area in the Central Plateau. Under expert guidance, you will discover the most beautiful corners of the Thurauen, learn more about its renaturalisation and meet some typical floodplain inhabitants. You will spend your lunch break at a cosy barbecue site right by the Thur. In the afternoon, the focus is on your team: with a team trainer, you will optimise cooperation and strengthen cohesion with challenging tasks in the open air.
