From the Eiffel Tower to the Taj Mahal - Miniwelt launches new season

The Miniworld in Lichtenstein (Zwickau district) is waking up from its winter hibernation and invites visitors on a trip around the world again from Wednesday (April 1). Visitors can inspect more than 100 true-to-original buildings from antiquity to the present day on a scale of 1:25: from the Statue of Liberty to the Eiffel Tower, from Sanssouci Palace and St. Basil's Cathedral to the Taj Mahal.

The landscape park can be explored on foot. There are special offers on Easter days. According to the operators, the Easter bunny will be out and about on the grounds, and visitors can get creative themselves with Easter crafts and woodwork. And a music show by the band Queen will be shown in the planetarium.

A new projection system has reportedly been installed there: "With this technical quantum leap to 4K visual quality, visitors of all ages can rediscover the mini cosmos. The universe and the wonders of the world are literally within reach."

Extensive work to refurbish models

In preparation for the new season, the models have been thoroughly inspected and repaired in recent weeks. This involved a great deal of painstaking work. According to the information provided, some of them can be experienced interactively. For example, an original recording of the old Silbermann organ in Dresden's Frauenkirche can be heard at the touch of a button. And various trains are on the move on a 600-metre-long rail network.

The Miniwelt is open daily from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm until the beginning of November. Admission costs 16 euros for adults and 12 euros for children, schoolchildren, students and people with disabilities. Families pay 45 euros.
