Baltic Sea Adventure World
In February 2012, the Meereszentrum Fehmarn from Burg auf Fehmarn opened the Ostsee Geocenter and aquarium named Ostsee Erlebniswelt in Klaustorf near Großenbrode near Heiligenhafen.
You can see an exhibition on the history of the marine region and the aquarium. In the adventure world, developments up to the primeval and ice ages can be traced. Since June 2017, access for visitors to the former reconnaissance tower has been possible, where, in addition to the viewing platform with a café, exhibits from an art exhibition can also be seen.
The Bundeswehr was previously located at this location and operated the telecommunications section tower A as a military reconnaissance facility for various agencies and branches of service.
