Constellations and Their Myths: A Night Walk Through the Stories of the Sky
When the Steigerwald plunges into darkness, an extraordinary discovery experience begins on the Steigerwald Treetop Path. In the tour "Constellations and Their Myths", Thomas Storch, known as the Star Stork, and Pastor Kerstin Kowalski combine astronomical expertise with traditional legends, star tales, and cultural history.
The Seasonal Night Sky as a Book of Stories
On the way to the lookout tower, various stations open the view to the world of constellations and celestial phenomena. Participants learn how people in different regions of the Earth have interpreted the brightly shining stars for centuries and connected them to figures in the night sky. Warriors, princesses, and monsters become impressive images of a cultural heritage that links science and storytelling.
Astronomical Expertise Meets Storytelling
Thomas Storch, as an astrophotographer and diploma physicist, provides the professional perspective on the night sky. The tour is complemented by the historical and narrative perspectives of Pastor Kerstin Kowalski. This creates a cultural enrichment for all who wish to experience local nature, astronomy, and myths in a captivating night walk.
Above the Canopy of the Steigerwald
The path leads up to the tower of the Treetop Path. At the top, a wide view over the nocturnal Steigerwald and the distant lights of the surrounding places opens up.

The dark forest outlines, the crisp night air, and the vastness of the sky give the city tour in the open air a special atmosphere.
