Batnight in the Mayen pit field on August 24 NABU Rhineland-Palatinate invites you to the big bat festival Bats have long since ceased to be considered blood-sucking vampires and are now regarded as lovable animals worthy of protection. When dusk falls, they sail silently in the sky. The agile insect hunters can also be seen in the Mayen pit field on August 26. NABU Rhineland-Palatinate, together with NABU Mayen and Erlebniswelten Grubenfeld, is organizing the largest state event as part of the international Batnight (EUROBATS). The former mining area in Mayen is home to 14 of the 25 species native to Germany, a total of over 50,000 bats. This unique habitat is the largest bat hibernation site in Germany. An extensive supporting program will be offered from 4 pm: Guided tours, face painting for children, craft tables, archery and much more will entertain and challenge visitors.
