Star Walk on the Canopy Path Steigerwald
When evening falls over the Steigerwald, a special city and nature tour through the world of astronomy begins on the canopy path in Ebrach. During the Star Walk on November 6, 2026, astrophotographer and physicist Thomas Storch, known as the Star Stork, will accompany participants up to the 42-meter-high observation tower.
A Journey of Discovery Between Forest and Outer Space
From the entrance area of the canopy path, the nighttime route leads step by step upwards. At selected stations, Thomas Storch vividly conveys what distinguishes galaxies, comets, and constellations. The tour combines natural impressions with clearly explained expertise about the formation and future of the universe.
The Night Sky Above the Steigerwald
At the top of the plateau, the view opens wide over the dark forested areas of the Steigerwald. In the distance, the light islands of surrounding villages and towns twinkle. With clear skies, selected constellations, visible planets, gas nebulae, and galaxies can be observed. The elevated location creates an impressive discovery experience far from hectic daily life.
For Families and Curious Explorers
This event is aimed at adults, families, and children aged ten and above. The understandable presentation by the Star Stork makes the city tour through the night sky a cultural enrichment for all who want to connect local nature, scientific relationships, and the magic of the stars.
