Evening Discovery Tour in the Lauterachtal: Juniper Scent, Jura Rocks, Bat Territories

Experience a guided city tour into the green: Nature park ranger Jonas Nelhiebel takes you to the dry juniper heaths and dry grasslands around Adertshausen in the Hirschwald Nature Park. Between cool Jura streams and sun-warmed slopes, you will discover the local history of the landscape, its unique biodiversity, and the last nursery of the Greater Horseshoe Bat in Germany – a cultural enrichment and nature experience at the same time.

Juniper Heaths and Dry Grasslands – A Landscape to Touch

The starting point is the hiking parking lot at the church in Adertshausen. From there, the path leads over gentle heights with fragrant juniper cones, past open steppe pine forests. The evening air carries resin and herb notes, and the gaze sweeps over the Lauterachtal – a backdrop where natural and cultural history become tangible.

Jura Rocks and FFH Area: Geological Stage of the Upper Palatinate

Along the Jura trail, dolomite rocks explain the formation of the landscape. The guide connects geological facts with vivid examples from the Lauterachtal nature reserve (Natura 2000): orchids on calcareous, nutrient-poor grasslands, warmth-loving bird species, and rare insects that benefit from traditional grazing.

Dusk and Bats: Greater Horseshoe Bat

As dusk falls, bats become active. You will learn why the Lauterachtal is considered a hotspot and what measures are in place to protect the unique nursery of the Greater Horseshoe Bat. Professionally based, clearly explained – a discovery experience for nature lovers.
