A quiet nature moment for little explorers in Hohenburg
In the bat house Hohenburg, families experience the Greater Horseshoe Bat up close. The guided tour vividly shows how the animals live in their nursery and makes nature knowledge easily understandable for children.
Astonishment in front of the camera, excitement at dusk
At the beginning, visitors observe the bats via camera in their roost. This creates a child-friendly learning experience that piques curiosity while respecting the animals. As dusk sets in, the impressive moment follows: the bats' departure for hunting.
Age-appropriate, informative, and family-oriented
The offer is aimed at children and teenagers aged 3 to 18 years and is suitable for families. The tour imparts knowledge about a highly endangered species and strengthens understanding of species and nature conservation. For young guests, the topic is presented understandably, calmly, and excitingly.
Well prepared for the family experience
The event takes place partly outdoors. Weatherproof clothing is therefore essential. As pre-registration is required, families should plan their visit early. This enhances safety, ensures a relaxed process, and allows for ample time to spend together.
A special place for environmental education
The bat house in Hohenburg is regarded as an information center regarding the last nursery of the Greater Horseshoe Bat in Germany. This is exactly what makes this event so valuable: children experience biodiversity not only in books but directly on site. This combines learning fun with genuine enthusiasm for nature.
Families curious about bats will find here a quiet, impressive, and educational evening. The excursion of the Greater Horseshoe Bat invites exploring nature with all senses and experiencing a rare animal up close together.
