Implementation
- Saturday or Sunday afternoon
- From 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Accessibility
- In Niedermuhlern, the Space Eye parking lot is located right next to the cheese factory. The parking lot is well-marked, and you can navigate to the “Käserei Niedermuhlern” location. The Space Eye shuttle service also departs from there.
- The shuttle for the outbound trip runs back and forth from 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (departing from Niedermuhlern, Käserei)
- If you’d like to arrive later, you can take the nature trail that leads to Space Eye. This trail takes about 45 minutes, but you can also choose the direct route, which is about 2 km long and takes roughly 25 minutes. Both routes are well-marked.
- The shuttle for the return trip runs back and forth from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (departing from Space Eye). If you’d like an earlier return trip, you can discuss this with the Space Eye guide on site. Of course, you can also use the adventure trail again to get back to the parking lot.
