Without water, life on earth would not be possible; water makes up more than half of our bodies. It is therefore not surprising that water plays a central role in all major world religions. Billions of people are convinced that water can not only cleanse the body, but also the soul.
On our museum rally, we learn more about the importance of water in the major world religions. One clue leads us to the next. In order to put all our building blocks together, we will be travelling through the Schloßbergmuseum, the Schloßkirche and the outside grounds. At the end, we'll have an overall picture and a surprise waiting for us.
