The Second Edition of Nocy Nietoperzy will take place on August 30, 2025, in Kamień’s Educational Pavilion, offering guided bat walks, presentations, workshops, and night cruises on the Vistula River as part of the global International Night of Bats event.
Event Overview
The event will occur at the Educational Pavilion of Kamień (Puckie Shore Street 1) from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Organized by the Warsaw City Green Council in collaboration with the Polish Bat Conservation Society and the “Lepsza Polska” Association, it marks the second edition of Nocy Nietoperzy at this location. Warsaw is home to 18 bat species, many of which are observed along the Vistula River.
International Night of Bats Background
The International Night of Bats was initiated by the EUROBATS agreement and held annually during the last full weekend of August. This period is ideal for observing bats along the river, as weather conditions and the time of day enhance detection efforts with specialized equipment.
Educational Pavilion Kamień
The Educational Pavilion Kamień serves as the primary venue for ecological education in the Vistula District. Situated between the Vistula River embankment and Puckie Shore Street, its proximity to reed beds and floodplain meadows supports field-based natural science activities.
