Nebra Sky Disc discovery site

Highlight • Historical Site

A 30-meter-high observation tower inclined at ten degrees was built near the site. The tower was divided by a vertical cut in the line of sight to the Brocken. These and other visual axes to important points in the area were visualized on the ground using labeled concrete strips. The climb to the tower is definitely worth it and is rewarded with a magnificent view. The Nebra Arch is also clearly visible from up there. Due to the relatively closed staircase and the solid concrete design - including at the top - the tower is also suitable for people who do not feel comfortable at high altitudes. In winter, however, access is blocked in bad weather.

Arche Nebra Visitor Centre

Highlight • Monument

Interesting exhibition about the sky disc. The visitor center also offers a café and a planetarium. There you can see a short film (20 minutes) on the formation and interpretation of the sky disk. When you've already covered a few kilometers, it's difficult to stay awake in the dark in a comfortable chair. ;-)

You should plan enough time for a visit, because there is a lot to discover. On the nearby Mittelberg you have a wonderful view over the landscape from a lookout tower. The monastery and the imperial palace of Memleben (4.6 kilometers away) are also definitely worth a visit.
