Info
At last! Reveries are over – the research vessel R.V. FLORA has anchored and is welcoming all curious fantasts!
From September 14th through October 5th each Friday the Schlingermarkt is becoming a research vessel.
The marketstalls are turning into cabins and laboratories, with an upper deck, lower deck and the ship’s wheel on top of the bridge.
