Bernsteinmuseum
Here you will find out interesting information about amber, this popular stone made of resin, and where it can be found on the North Sea coast. The museum is open on only two days a week, but its highlight is a cabinet in which insects which were trapped in amber 45 to 50 million years ago are displayed. During the holidays there are polishing courses for children, in which they can turn a plain and nondescript raw piece of amber into their own jewel.
After that you can treat yourself to a beneficial amber steam bath in our BEAUTY SPA.
Dünentherme thermal spa
A great bathing experience for all generations, not just on chilly days: the pools are filled with salt water from the North Sea, there are waterslides for excitement, and in the outdoor pool the fresh North Sea air generates a feeling of well-being.
