Playground at the Clay Village

Discover our new playground!

On June 20, 2025, our large playground was reopened after redesign and expansion. You can look forward to the Loop of the Senses and an exercise area with ping pong tables and a basketball hoop.

You can see it from afar: our 10 metre slide tower for playing and exploring! Whether indoors or outdoors, with different levels of difficulty - everyone will find their challenge here. Between the two towers, an accesible wooden walkway connects the areas and enables inclusive play with drawing boards and a sand play area with wheelchair access.

In the Loop of the Senses, you can immerse yourself in a world full of tactile, visual and acoustic stimuli. Jump on trampolines embedded in the floor, feel tactile circles, balance over bumps, whisper secrets into mouthpieces and be fascinated by rotating distorting mirrors and shadow plays. Climb around in the jungle net. In the adjacent sand play area there is also plenty  to discover for the little ones, like the mosaic elephant and nest swings.

In the northern part of the playground, you will find table tennis tables and a large exercise area with a ball hopper, basketball hoop and grandstand elements that invite children to play sports together.

And if you need some peace and quiet, you can relax in our green oasis, where you will find a hammock and exciting balancing elements.

The existing building stock of the play area of the clay village created over the years, includes a labyrinth, various sculptures, some with elaborate mosaics, clay huts, a whispering throne, a Palaver pavilion, a bear temple and a children’s bar. In summer 2020, new elements can be added to this ensemble between June 27th and July 18th.

The Clay Village

Children love to make up their own worlds and design them with their hands. In addition to Lego spaceships and caves made from sheets, there is a very special material for your creativity: clay! Several times a year, we invite children and young people to play with clay. Under the guidance of an experienced team, you can build clay houses, create fascinating sculptures or embellish the works of art from previous years. There are no limits to your imagination - our team will guide you competently through the entire process.

The existing clay village, which has grown over the years, includes a labyrinth, various sculptures, some with elaborate mosaics, clay huts, a whispering throne, a palaver pavilion and a bear temple. Come along and become part of this unique architectural history!
