A magic time at the Fossil Museum and other Ochsenfurt, Germany General Tips

Fondest Memory: Each year at Christmas time the Fossil Museum at Kleinochsenfurt hosts a Magic Show. The tickets sell out weeks in advance! Top local magicians, artists, ventriloquists, fire-eaters and acrobats entertain tables of adults and children for hours, surrounded by rocks, amonites, and replica pterodactyls. The small bar served Ochsener beer and home-made fossil-shaped cheese biscuits.

Obviously, the whole show was all in German, so many of the jokes were lost on me!! But the international language of slap-stick can be understood by even the most stupid foreigner. Robbie Robbix, an Australian acrobat, wowed the ladies with his tight trousers, theatrical smile and contortions to avoid hitting his head on the low ceiling.

And the night was proof (if any were needed) that Germans have a good sense of humour ;-)
