General Information

We generally offer guided tours on weekdays between 08:00 and 11:00 and 14:00 and 17:00. The availability of our staff determines whether a tour can be held. Requests should therefore be made as early as possible, but at least two weeks in advance. Unfortunately, the facilities are not barrier-free and are not accessible for people in wheelchairs. Transport to the facilities must be organized by the visitors. You will receive further detailed information with the written confirmation.
