Easily flammable material, oxygen and heat - these are the basic requirements for starting a fire. From  1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Patrick Geiger will  present how and with what flames have been and were kindled from the Stone Age to the present day. From the paleolithic punch lighter to the "peaceful" fire in antiquity to the modern lighter, an exciting insight into 32,000 years of  fire production is  given.

At  2 p.m.  there is an exclusive ArchäoKids tour by children for children. The young visitors can explore the Stone Age and find out how resourceful Paleolithic hunters and gatherers, but also the first farmers at Federsee, were.

During a public tour at 3 p.m., all interested parties will be impressively introduced to the eventful history of the Federsee, from the Paleolithic to the pile dwelling.

In addition, from 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m., visitors can put their skills to the test in throwing a spear with the Ice Age spear thrower or take a boat from prehistory, the  dugout canoe, on the museum pond.

For families we offer the “Family Activity Trail” all day. Simply borrow the research bag for a fee at the cash desk and off you go on an active journey of discovery!
