Constellations and Their Myths: Experience the Night Sky with New Eyes

Constellations and Their Myths: A Nighttime Discovery Journey on the Treetop Path

When the Steigerwald slips into darkness, a special city and nature tour under the open sky begins on the Treetop Path. In Constellations and Their Myths, Thomas Storch, known as the Star Storch, and Pastor Kerstin Kowalski combine astronomical expertise with traditional legends, star tales, and cultural history.

On the Way to the Stories of the Sky

The nighttime hike leads from the entrance of the Treetop Path to the 42-meter-high observation tower. At various stations, an atmospheric discovery experience unfolds: seasonal constellations and other celestial phenomena are explained in an understandable way and linked to myths from different regions of the world.

Warriors, Princesses, and Monsters Over the Steigerwald

Looking up opens a panorama full of figures and tales. With clear skies, constellations and visible planets can be discovered together. Warriors, princesses, and monsters appear not only as astronomical points of orientation but also as part of a cultural heritage that people have shared for a long time.

Science Meets Narrative Art

Thomas Storch, as an astrophotographer and physicist, brings the professional perspective on the starry sky. The tour is complemented by the narrative and religious historical perspective of Pastor Kerstin Kowalski. This creates a cultural enrichment that connects local nature experience, astronomy, and myths into a memorable evening.

A Special Evening Above the Treetops

At the top of the tower, a wide view over the nighttime Steigerwald and the distant light islands of the surrounding places awaits. The calm atmosphere, the dark forest contours, and the open sky make this thematic tour an impressive experience for adults and children aged 12 and older.
