Evolutionary path

Along the Ammelbach and the Wiesenbrunnenbach in Ottersheim leads a path about one kilometer long, along which 20 information boards are set up to inform about the nature and background of the development of life on our earth.

The evolutionary path represents all the major stages in the 4.1 billion year history of life. This includes the First Traces of Life, photosynthesis, the land walk of vertebrates, the time of the dinosaurs, the appearance of the human-like hominids up to modern man.

Walk along the path of evolution

Dr. Karl-Heinz Büchner from the Rhine-Neckar regional group of the Giordano Bruno Foundation explains significant and well-documented developments and events during the walk along the Evolution Trail in Ottersheim. The nature trail presents these as stations in the 4100 million year history of life. From the first traces of life to the present day, it is 1000 m long.

Would you like to take a walk along the Evolution Trail? Whether as a group or an individual. Have a look at the calendar of events on the homepage to see when we are offering the next walk or contact Dr. Karl-Heinz Büchner directly by e-mail at karlheinz.buechner@gbs-rhein-neckar.de.
