About the Event
The Amphibian Festival is a guided, precisely scheduled nature park event in the Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park in southern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The focus is on a unique "concert of frogs and toads" at the Thurow natural water body – the nocturnal soundscape of the water is the real star of the evening.
Course and Atmosphere
The tour starts late in the evening, lasts about three hours, and covers approximately four kilometers along a still water body. The nature park rangers explain the native amphibians (common toad, common frog, yellow-bellied toad, European tree frog) and moths, their life cycles, and their importance for the biodiversity of the Feldberger Seenlandschaft.
Regional Context
The Feldberger Seenlandschaft is one of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's most important amphibian conservation areas. Still water bodies like the one in Thurow are considered biodiversity hotspots – with a high concentration of different amphibian species, dragonflies, and nocturnal insects. The nature park uses the festival format to make the event accessible to a broader public, despite its educational character.
Who Organizes the Festival
The organizer is the Naturpark Feldberger Seenlandschaft (Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park); the guided tours are conducted by trained nature park rangers. Registration is required; the number of participants is limited to protect the nocturnal tranquility of the water body.
