Rocks in the Ecological-Botanical Garden: Touching Earth History
On Friday, October 23, 2026, the Ecological-Botanical Garden of the University of Bayreuth invites you to a special city and nature tour. In this free event, participants will explore the fascinating world of rocks together with Richard Regner from the Bavarian-Bohemian Geopark – directly in the outdoor area of the ÖBG.
A Walk Through Millions of Years of Earth's History
The Ecological-Botanical Garden, apart from its impressive variety of plants, also houses numerous types of rocks. Particularly impressive are the boulders from the Fichtelgebirge and Frankenwald, some of which are several meters tall. They make geological processes visible and transform the garden into a unique archive of Earth's history.
Types of Rocks, Origins, and Formation
During the approximately two-hour walk, Richard Regner will explain how different rocks were formed and from which regions they originate. The tour combines natural science expertise with vivid observations on site. This way, it becomes understandable what traces past landscapes, tectonic movements, and the forces of Earth's history have left in the rocks.
Authentic Atmosphere in the Outdoor Area of the ÖBG
The meeting point is at the main entrance of the Ecological-Botanical Garden on Universitätsstraße 30. Between plant landscapes, open garden areas, and notable boulders, an immediate discovery experience unfolds. History is not only explained here but can literally be touched and observed.
Conclusion: A Free Tour for Curious Explorers
The tour offers a cultural and scientific enrichment for all who want to experience Bayreuth from a geological perspective. Those who wish to connect local landscape history, visible natural forces, and expert explanations will find an extraordinary experience in this walk.
