Not really a highlight but nice to see how they look after the endangered species of bats. With small info board.

Bat watching is sometimes offered here in cooperation with the House of Nature in Knechtsteden Monastery. There is a rest area nearby.

🦇The Bat🦇

A poem by Josef Festing

In summer when the air is warm

and dancing inside a swarm of mosquitoes,

comes out of the shelter

at dusk the bat.

Insects are her favorite food

she catches them entirely without light.

In the dark she feels at home

emits fluttering high-pitched sounds.

The bright sound from the sonar

hears some mosquito before death.

The bat of every night

so mostly makes fat booty.

And then has it eaten enough

hangs on the animal itself reversed,

with head down

and asleep digesting the beasts.

The bat usually hangs in angles,

how can she pee upside down?

One could still think of this

but she should give herself a bowel movement!

😂

(I'm considering this private, it's just for fun and I don't make any money from it.)
