Invisible neighbours - What lives in the water of the Osterbek?

A tour for children and families with a microscope

Have you ever wondered what lives in the water of a retention basin? Hardly visible to the naked eye - but incredibly diverse! In this family tour for children aged between 4 and 12, we will dive into the hidden world of microorganisms together.

We start at 16:00 at the LIFE HAMBURG pop-up in Bramfeld and make our way together to the Osterbek retention basin. There we will take water samples and look out for what is hiding in it. Back at the pop-up, microscopes await us - and astonished eyes! Because what seems tiny turns out to be a whole world of its own under the microscope. Dr Nancy Mercado Salas, crustacean researcher at the Museum der Natur Hamburg, and her team will guide us through the tour.

Join us and be surprised at what lives right on our doorstep in Bramfeld!
