Silent Hunters of the Night – Bats in Ekkodalen and at Hammershus

Silent Hunters of the Night – Bats in Ekkodalen and at Hammershus. When darkness settles over Bornholm, the island’s mysterious nocturnal animals awaken: the bats. Set out with your family into the fascinating world of bats. Using bat detectors, we can hear the otherwise inaudible echolocation calls that reveal where the animals are hunting. Several species live on Bornholm, including the brown bat, Daubenton’s bat, pond bat, and parti-coloured bat. Each species has its own hunting methods and preferred habitats, which the guide will explain along the way. Ekkodalen and the area around Hammershus are among the island’s best places to experience bats, as insects gather here at dusk. In the special atmosphere after sunset, you will gain knowledge, sensory impressions, and perhaps even the chance to see the bats silhouetted against the night sky. On this tour, you rent a bat map and detector, giving you a truly unique nature experience – for both children and adults who want to get closer to Bornholm’s hidden nightlife.
