Experience bats live: A family evening in Hohenburg
In the Bat House Hohenburg, an extraordinary family experience awaits nature enthusiasts both big and small: The Greater Horseshoe Bat can be observed via camera in its maternity roost before the evening outing for hunting begins at dusk. The offer is free of charge and explicitly intended for families as well as children and teenagers aged 3 to 18 years. Registration is required.

Wonder, learn, ask
For children, this is an exciting learning moment with a real wow-effect. They see not only a rare animal but experience in a child-friendly way how nature conservation, habitat, and behavior are interconnected. The Greater Horseshoe Bat is regarded in Germany as the last colony of its kind in the Bat House in Hohenburg and is under strict protection.

A nature experience with educational value
The information center at the market square was specifically created to convey knowledge about this highly endangered species. Thus, the visit becomes more than just an excursion: families receive an age-appropriate learning experience that sparks curiosity and sharpens the focus on species protection. This creates a lively access to nature, especially for children. ([lbv.de](https://www.lbv.de/naturschutz/life-natur-projekte/life-projekt-grosse-hufeisennase/fledermaushaus-hohenburg/))
