Between Sand, Dusk, and Silent Wings
As the day slowly fades, the atmosphere at Holzweg noticeably changes. The open landscape becomes a place of excitement and wonder: With the help of detectors, the search begins for the nocturnal flying mammals, which particularly benefit from the rare sandy habitats.
