A Discovery Experience for Nature Lovers

Those who want to experience Bayreuth differently can enjoy a guided city tour in a broader sense: not through facades and squares, but through habitats, sounds, and movement. The excursion combines local history, nature observation, and cultural enrichment into a relaxed discovery experience in the open air.

Looking Out for the Small

The focus is on jumping and flying insects that bring the meadows to life in summer. According to the event announcement, Jürgen Fischer will accompany the tour; he is known as an expert in grasshoppers and co-author of the book The Grasshoppers of Germany and Austria. This creates professional authority and makes the tour particularly exciting for everyone who wants to not just see, but understand nature.
