A royal visit to the RiesCraterMuseum
At the end of June, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn from Thailand visited the Nördlinger Ries. She began her two-day visit with a guided tour of the RiesCraterMuseum by museum director Prof. Dr. Stefan Hölzl.
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Hohnholz from Tübingen, on whose initiative the visit to the Ries went back and who accompanied the visit, expressed his thanks afterwards with the words “The entire small excursion was a complete success, with your engaging and lively tour of the Ries Crater Museum certainly being the highlight”.
