Mirror kaleidoscope on the Rosenberg - your image in a thousand facets

In the mirror kaleidoscope, you can see yourself fragmented many times over. It is therefore perfect for fun photos - so take a photo and share it on our Facebook page - www.facebook.com/baddriburg.

The mirror kaleidoscope is part of the Kaleidoscope Trail and is located directly on the slope of the Rosenberg.

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.
