Cave Tour & Bat Excursion: Experience Germany's Rarest Bat
On June 27, 2026, your discovery experience begins at the Bat House Hohenburg – home to the last nursery of the Greater Horseshoe Bat in Germany. Under professional guidance, you will gain insights into the conservation project and then stroll over the nutrient-rich feeding meadows in the romantic Lauterachtal. Nature observation, local history, and biological insider knowledge merge into cultural enrichment.
Bat House Hohenburg: History You Can Touch
In the listed ensemble at the marketplace, installed infrared cameras show the life of the colony without disturbance. Here you will learn how the nursery was discovered in 1992, why the species is strictly protected, and what measures are being implemented by LBV, the district, and partners – from habitat protection to gentle meadow maintenance.
Tracing the Horseshoes: Short Excursion into the Territory
The city tour into nature leads out to juniper slopes and calcareous dry grasslands. Your guide explains hunting strategies, flight corridors, and the importance of structured hedges. The architecture of the market community, the castle ruins in sight, and the authentic atmosphere of the Hirschwald Nature Park frame the experience.
First-Hand Expertise
On-site, project supervisors and rangers report on monitoring, the birth timeline of young bats, and the role of the information center. You will learn to accurately assign terms such as nursery, roost change, and habitat connectivity, and understand the historical contexts that make Hohenburg unique.
Practical Tips for Explorers
We recommend sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, binoculars, and drinking water. The family-friendly route is moderate; sensitive areas are respected. Afterwards, a meal in the village is recommended.
