Fascinating Family Expedition in the Darkness with Bats

In this special family event in Bielefeld, children from 8 years old explore together with their (grand)parents. With ultrasonic detectors, the nocturnal world of bats becomes audible, while exciting insights into their lifestyle create genuine amazement. The excursion combines nature experience, fun learning, and quality time in a child-friendly way.

The Night Becomes an Experience

As night falls, an exciting adventure begins for families in the Rieselfelder Windel. Here, children experience nature in a completely different way than during the day: quietly, attentively, and full of curiosity. The search for the hunters of the night makes biological connections tangible and creates a learning experience that stays in memory for a long time.

Child-Friendly, Age-Appropriate, and in the Heart of Nature

The event is explicitly designed for children aged 8 and older and (grand)parents. Thus, it is ideal for families who want to be outdoors together and gather natural knowledge at the same time. The event is led by an experienced team from the Biological Station Gütersloh/Bielefeld in cooperation with the NABU City Association Bielefeld. This creates a trustworthy family experience with professional guidance.

Practical Information for Families

For participation, sturdy footwear, a flashlight, and refreshments are essential. The meeting point will be communicated upon registration. The participation fee is 10 euros for 2 participants; each additional family member costs 4 euros. The event is planned for 2 hours, providing enough time for exploration, questions, and shared wonder.

The Learning Location Rieselfelder Windel

The Rieselfelder Windel is a valuable natural area south of Bielefeld-Senne. There, three observation towers, an accessible platform, and a 5-kilometer circular path have been established. For families, this means experiencing nature in a well-developed protected area, particularly suitable for environmental education and observations.

Conclusion

This expedition combines nature, knowledge, and adventure in a particularly family-friendly way. For those who want to experience bats not just by sight but with all senses, this offers an exciting evening for the whole family. Mark the date now and discover the darkness live!
