Exploration of Bayreuth's Plant World in Extreme Locations
This excursion takes you deep into Bayreuth's unique urban nature: In a small space, dry nutrient-poor sites, wet meadows, and floodplain forests meet. Those who want to not only see the plant world but understand it will experience a vibrant discovery adventure with a lot of local knowledge. Botanist Dr. Pedro Gerstberger will accompany the tour as a recognized expert in botany; the event takes place on 12.06.2026 from 14:00 to 17:00 and is free of charge.

Between Dryness and Moisture
Bayreuth's steepest slope shows how strongly plants shape their locations and adapt to them. The tour will reveal how extreme locations create small habitats with their own dynamics. This contrast makes the city tour a cultural enrichment for nature lovers, gardening enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to experience biology in the field. ([diesummer.de](https://diesummer.de/))
