Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...

Spiegelbilder

... who is the most distorted of them all?

It's incredible what you can do with mirrors. They're not only practical and important in the bathroom or when driving, but they can also provide a lot of fun and amaze us in various ways.

Most people have probably seen and looked into a funhouse mirror: long legs and a short torso, very short legs and a torso as long as a giraffe's neck - everyone has to laugh at this! Kaleidoscopes can be walk-in, foldable, or for peering into. But one thing is always the same: they display beautiful, repeating patterns. Likewise, a pattern can also be seen at the stations "Infinite View" or "Deep Look" - but in a completely different way.

The concave mirror is a semi-circular mirror that you can enter. Not only might you feel a bit dizzy, you might also feel a change in temperature on your skin.

And did you know that some of our mirrors have a carefully chosen location? Not only in the forest do you have to be careful with glass and sunshine, but also inside buildings. If some of the mirrors, like the large lens, were to be placed "incorrectly," they could capture sunlight, focus the light, and thus cause a fire.
