Star Walk Above the Canopies of the Steigerwald
When twilight falls over the Steigerwald on October 9, 2026, an extraordinary discovery experience begins on the treetop path: During the Star Walk, astrophotographer and physics graduate Thomas Storch, known as the Star Stork, guides participants through the nocturnal world of stars, galaxies, and universes.
Ascent to the Starry Sky
The city tour intentionally remains behind: From the entrance area of the treetop path, the night path slowly ascends to the 42-meter high observation tower. At selected stations, the guide conveys astronomical knowledge clearly and entertainingly. Galaxies, comets, constellations, and the origin of the universe become tangible subjects for adults and children aged ten and up.
Wide View Over the Nocturnal Steigerwald
At the top of the plateau, the view opens over the dark forest areas of the Steigerwald and the distant light islands of surrounding villages and towns. With clear skies, attention is drawn to selected constellations, visible planets, gas nebulae, and galaxies. The combination of forest nature, architecture of the treetop path, and astronomical observation makes this evening event a special cultural enrichment.
Understanding and Impressively Experiencing Astronomy
The Star Walk combines natural science knowledge transfer with an authentic atmosphere. Thomas Storch brings his experience as an astrophotographer and physics graduate to the table, providing participants with an expert access to the local night landscape and the great questions of the universe. Thus, a special type of city tour is created: tangible history is complemented by awe-inspiring science.
Practical Information
The meeting point is located at the entrance or at the cash registers of the Steigerwald Treetop Path. A flashlight is required for the return journey. Binoculars enhance the personal discovery experience. Participation is recommended from ten years old and is available upon prior registration through the online ticket shop.
