Experience bats up close: An exciting family evening in Hohenburg
At the Bat House Hohenburg, a special family experience awaits little nature explorers and their companions. On Friday, July 17, 2026, at 8:00 PM, the focus will be on the Greater Horseshoe Bat, a rare bat species that has its last known nursery location here in Germany. The guided tour will show in a child-friendly manner how these animals live, why they are strictly protected, and what happens during the evening observation. According to the event details, the event is suitable for families, free of charge, intended for children and young people ages 3 to 18, and accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.

Wonder, observe, understand
Just the camera view into the nursery makes the nature experience vivid. Children experience how calm and at the same time exciting observing nature can be. The educational value lies in the direct encounter with a strictly protected animal, which raises many questions about habitats, species protection, and consideration in dealing with wildlife. The LBV describes the Bat House as an information center aimed at raising awareness for this highly endangered species.

When dusk begins
The highlight follows with the bats' excursion for hunting. At that moment, a special experience occurs that families will remember for a long time: quiet voices, tense gazes, and genuine children's laughter as the animals take to the night. The guided tour takes place in the courtyard or around the Bat House and is designed for family-friendly observation. ([hey.bayern](https://hey.bayern/events/585034?utm_source=openai))
