Constellations and their Myths: A Nighttime Hike Full of Celestial Stories
When the Steigerwald sinks into darkness, an extraordinary discovery experience begins at the Steigerwald Tree Top Walk. During this nighttime tour, Thomas Storch, also known as the Star Stork, and Rev. Kerstin Kowalski guide participants through the world of constellations, legends, and celestial phenomena. The tour combines local history, nature experiences, and cultural heritage into an atmospheric city tour in the broader sense of the word: not through alleys, but under open skies.

Between Tree Canopies and Stars
The Steigerwald Tree Top Walk is located in Ebrach at Radstein 2 and is designed to be barrier-free; the path leads through the forest with a maximum incline of 6 percent up to the observation tower. The path is approximately 1,152 meters long and offers a panoramic view over the Steigerwald, known for its sustainable forest management and cultural historical landscape.

Myths, Planets, and Constellations to Touch
During the tour, seasonal constellations are explained and flavored with myths and legends. In clear skies, Thomas Storch shows selected constellations, visible planets, gas nebulas, and galaxies.
