The Combiscope - a riot of color at the quarry in the arboretum

In the Combiscope, the colors of colorful glass crystals and beads mix with the environment.

The combiscope is part of the Kaleidoscope Trail and is located directly at the quarry in the arboretum next to a bench and a shelter

About the Kaleidoscope Trail:

The interplay of colored glass and light has always fascinated us humans. With kaleidoscopes, this fascination - and thus also part of Bad Driburg's cultural history - can be experienced in a playful way. On the Kaleidoscope Trail, eight locations with giant kaleidoscopes of various designs invite children and adults to play with light and glass.

The 5.8-kilometre circular trail starts at the leisure pool and can be divided into two loops of 2.5 kilometers (northern loop / Rosenberg) and 3.3 kilometers (southern loop / Arboretum). As you hike along the well-maintained, well-marked paths with destination signposts, you will be treated to magnificent views of the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park landscape time and again.
