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!
😂
