Urban Nature as an Experience Area

Between rivers, gardens, lakes, and protected areas, an event experience is created that not only explains nature but makes it tangible. The program includes offerings for families, lectures, and creative actions, appealing to people of all ages. This creates a relaxed atmosphere for the audience, with plenty of room for discovery, exchange, and movement in the fresh air.

Diversity Instead of a Uniform Program

Especially strong is the mix of expertise and hands-on character: The Biological Station Eastern Ruhr Area, NABU Bochum, and other initiatives focus on excursions, nature observation, and practical environmental references. Highlights include tours through the Ruhr Valley in Stiepel, a family rally at Tippelsberg, amphibian formats in Bochum's gardens, a tour through the Klosterbusch quarry, and an after-work tour in the Bochum Zoo + Fossilium.

The offerings cater to children, families, and adults, some requiring registration due to limited availability.
