Hymanlab retreat to Stolpen

Post by Carsten Hoege

Years have passed and only “hearsaying” storys about historic Hymanlab retreats roamed the air of MPI-CBG…well that now ended and we made it to the small city of Stolpen near swiss saxony for a couple of days! The historic city and the castle were built on an old basalt layer that a volcano formed around 30 million years ago, and we spent our time talking about our science projects and enjoying the surroundings and had a great time!
