Stop: Dasselstr./South Station

Inconspicuous, unagitated and largely unknown even to experienced Cologne museum-goers, the GeoMuseum is hidden just a gem's throw from the Eifelwall on the first floor between the Institutes of Geology and Mineralogy (entrance: Paula-Kleinmann-Weg). Here, the most important geological exhibits are presented.

"4.56 Billion Years of Earth History - From the Formation of the Solar System to the Present".

Not only fascinating corals and mighty sequoia slices can be admired here, but also large fossils such as an ichthyosaur (fish dinosaur), a marine crocodile and a rare amphibian skeleton about 1 m in size.
