They are mysterious animals, fascinating for some, scary for others, in any case rare animals. During the Harvest Festival, the SNM-Múzeum Červený Kameň will therefore join forces with the Miniopterus organization to participate in the International Night of Bats event. Under the baton of Blanka Lehotská and Roman Lehotský, you will find an overview of the most important species of bats, getting to know bats from Červený Kameň Castle, bat rescue, personal contact with bats in rehabilitation, demonstrations of tools for research and monitoring of bats, bat detectors, a short film about the summer colony of bats, but also listening to bat sounds using detectors.
