Swabian Jura from Above: Interactive Albrelief Tour at explorhino

On May 21, 2026, the explorhino Science Center in Aalen will open its stage for a special exploration: During the Albrelief tour, visitors will experience the Swabian Jura as a large, interactive geo-relief. The exhibition atmosphere combines vivid geography, geology, and cultural history into a rich artistic experience with aesthetic enjoyment.

A Landscape Model as a Stage of Earth History

On a 2 x 4 meter large 3D projection area, the Jura unfolds as a topographical sculpture. Over 60 maps and animations make layers, karst formations, and valley spaces spatially readable. The interplay of light, contour, and scale creates a clear spatial effect: relief, color, and shadow form a plastic narrative of the landscape.

From Settlement to Natural Space: Interdisciplinary Perspectives

In addition to geomorphology, the tour addresses settlement, economic routes, and protected areas. The curation relies on vivid visualization instead of pure data density. Thus, the relief becomes a learning sculpture that conveys both natural contexts and cultural space.

Curation with a Research Perspective

The moderated tour by Prof. Bauer combines expertise with precise imagery. Colorful layers, animated overlays, and scale references guide the exploration. The result is a sensually grounded, museum-educationally clear introduction to geology, epochs, and landscape aesthetics of the Swabian Jura.

Anchored in the Science Center: Learning through Experience

As a geopark information center and participatory museum, explorhino offers over 120 stations. The Albrelief tour complements this experimental culture with an installative, spatially related presentation that convincingly connects research graphics and exhibition bodies.

Visitor Feedback

The reactions from visitors are clear: The interactive relief map excites with clear visualization and new perspectives. On Instagram, it is noted: 'Finally, I understand the landscape layers of the Jura in space.' On Facebook, guests praise the vivid connection of nature, history, and orientation.

Conclusion

Those who wish to grasp the Jura holistically will experience a rare synthesis of scientific precision and aesthetic clarity. Two hours that broaden perspectives and inspire conscious landscape awareness. Recommendation: register in advance and see live on-site.
