Noctalis

Noctalis, in Bad Segeberg, is a small museum and visitor center dedicated to bats, located beside the town’s limestone cave system. Its main attraction is the Segeberger Kalkberg Cave, one of northern Europe’s most important bat hibernation sites. Exhibits explain bat biology, cave ecology, and local conservation work in a clear, family-friendly way. A visit is especially worthwhile for travelers interested in wildlife, geology, or educational stops beyond the region’s better-known Karl May Festival.
