An Evening Between Castle Walls and Aerial Acrobatics
As soon as the light falls over Sparrenburg, the atmosphere changes noticeably. The historic backdrop, open paths, and nighttime tranquility create a setting where bats become not just a topic, but an immediate experience. Participants will track hunting flights in the wild, learn about their protection needs, and discover why Sparrenburg is considered one of the most species-rich bat winter quarters in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Knowledge that Comes Alive in the Dark
The format combines expert organization with clear communication for the target audience. For families with children from 8 years old, this creates a child-friendly access to nature, science, and species protection. The contribution to the European Bat Night further embeds the event in a European context and strengthens the program's authority. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1906284))
Sparrenburg as a Stage for Nature Experience
The location is one of the most distinctive places in the city: Sparrenburg is located at the Teutoburg Forest, is easily reachable by tram, and combines historical charm with a nature-friendly experience area. The meeting point is in front of the Green House, Am Sparrenberg 38b, 33602 Bielefeld. The event takes place outdoors and requires weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear.

A Clear Concept for Little Explorers
The excursion is not designed as a large spectacle, but as a concentrated nature experience. This is precisely what makes it appealing: short distances, direct observations, tangible explanations, and real closeness to the animals. The minimum number of participants of 10 people emphasizes the guided character and personal communication on-site. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1906284))
