Experience the kings of the skies up close – at our interactive flight show in the middle of the forest!
Every day (March to November, Tuesday to Sunday and on all public holidays) at 3 p.m., a very special nature experience begins for you and your family: our interactive flight show will transport you into the fascinating world of birds of prey, owls, and falcons for around 40 to 50 minutes – in the middle of the idyllic Thuringian Forest.
Look forward to an impressive variety: From majestic sea eagles to cute owls and nimble falcons to Europe's largest bird of prey – our impressive monk vulture with a wingspan of three metres, which will glide just above your heads.
And best of all, you can become part of the show! If you like – and the bird does too – an owl or other bird of prey will land on your arm of its own free will. Our animals fly completely freely, without any safety measures, and decide for themselves whether they want to come to you. This special trust between humans and animals makes every moment unique and touching.
The show is accompanied by a charming and knowledgeable presenter who will share exciting facts and entertaining stories about the intangible cultural heritage of falconry and its feathered protagonists. You will not only learn how birds of prey live and hunt, but also feel the deep connection between humans and animals that characterises this ancient craft.
The atmosphere is very special—close to nature, authentic, and emotional. Marvel, participate, and be moved—an unforgettable experience for children and adults alike.
