Hiking
On the Timeline Staircase in the Middelpunt nature reserve, you'll walk through time. From the deepest point in the Zandgroeve (sand quarry), you'll climb up to the Middelpunt.
Climbing through Time
Your journey through time begins with an object that represents the Ice Age, 140,000 years ago. As you continue your climb, you'll pass figures like a saber-toothed tiger, a reindeer, and a knight. Each represents a different era. The higher you climb, the later the era.
