A morning full of nature observations
When the garden is still quiet and the paths lie in soft morning light, a special event atmosphere arises. This is when a birdwatching excursion unfolds its effect: short observation stops, concentrated looks into the treetops, and the vibrant atmosphere of curiosity and discovery among the audience. The Botanical Garden of the University of Ulm sees itself as a scientific institution, a place of learning, and a venue for nature experiences.

Week of Biodiversity as a strong framework
The tour is part of the cooperation project between the Botanical Garden of the University of Ulm and the Neu-Ulm District Office. The week of biodiversity bundles tours, workshops, lectures, and participation actions around biodiversity and species knowledge. For visitors, this creates a compact event experience with clear substantive added value and a strong educational claim.

Why the early start is worth it
Those who want to observe birds often experience the best mix of calm, activity, and clear outlines in the morning. The excursion is aimed at people who want not just to see nature but to consciously perceive it. This makes the format attractive for nature lovers, families interested in biodiversity, and anyone seeking a focused, quiet event instead of a large stage. Leon Wischenbarth was recognized by the University of Ulm in 2025 as a particularly committed observer and overall winner of BioBlitz, which adds credibility to his natural history practice.

In the end, there is no big spectacle waiting, but an intense nature experience with expert guidance, fresh morning air, and real biodiversity. Those who want to experience birds closely in the Botanical Garden Ulm should mark this date and join the excursion live.
