Description

The mastodon site in Austria is a remarkable place for all lovers of the prehistoric world. Mastodons, also known as urelephants, migrated from Africa to Eurasia many millions of years ago. The site is home to the only mastodon skeleton in Austria, which offers a fascinating insight into these extinct proboscideans. This extraordinary find can be viewed in the Krahuletz Museum in Eggenburg. A visit to the mastodon site is a unique opportunity to explore the prehistoric world and learn more about the fascinating history of these impressive creatures. There is a large information board with background knowledge about the proboscideans.
