This event combines nature observation with child-friendly knowledge transfer. The Greater Horseshoe Bat is considered a highly endangered species, and the Bat House in Hohenburg is its last roost in Germany.

Child-friendly and Educational

The guided tour is aimed at children and teenagers from 3 to 18 years according to event information, and it is expressly suitable for families.

Outside, Close Up, and Well Prepared

Part of the tour takes place outdoors. Therefore, weatherproof clothing is important for families. The evening timing aligns with the lifestyle of the bats, as they only begin their active flight at dusk. This transition from quiet observation to a lively excursion brings laughter, curiosity, and real goosebump moments for children.
