Most people find bats creepy - Anyone who orients themselves in complete darkness, as if by magic, drinks blood and gets caught in girls' long hair... can only be related to the devil. But appearances are deceptive. Instead of human blood, mosquitoes are on the menu and the bats' echolocation is so good that they can distinguish tree species and even hear individual hairs standing on end. With the help of bat detectors, the calls of bats can also be heard by us humans. All we need is a little luck and patience and we will be right in the middle of the nocturnal activity of the flying mammals.
Sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing are required for the safari. Flashlights are advisable, but not necessary for observing the bats. Participation is at your own risk.
Duration approx. 1.5 hours
