Kreidemuseum Rügen
The Rügen Chalk Museum is located in the former Gummanz chalk quarry on the Jasmund peninsula. The museum is dedicated to the 70-million-year-old history of the formation of chalk and explains how it was mined and used on Rügen. Visitors to the exhibition can marvel at fossils, tools and models that illustrate the processing of chalk. A highlight is the tour of the former open-cast chalk mine, where you can experience the striking white layers of rock up close.
