New Forest Marble Run! at Wartaweil: A Family Afternoon Full of Nature, Play, and Discovery

On Friday, May 15, 2026, the Nature Conservation and Youth Center Wartaweil transforms into a lively learning and experience venue for families with children aged 4 and up. The New Forest Marble Run! focuses on trying things out together: twigs, pine cones, and clay become a creative marble run in the midst of nature.

Building with Hands, Amazed with Eyes

This format connects environmental education, movement, and playful learning in a particularly accessible way. Children experience how a functioning marble run is created from simple natural materials. It's not just about crafting and rolling but also about observation, teamwork, and little aha moments in the forest.

Wartaweil as a Strong Place for Nature Experience and Education

The Nature Conservation and Youth Center Wartaweil on Lake Ammersee is the central educational institution of BUND Naturschutz in Bavaria e.V. and has been awarded the quality seal for environmental education in Bavaria since 2006. The spacious grounds, the location directly on the eastern shore of Lake Ammersee, and the long-standing experience in environmental education create the right framework for a substantial event experience.

Family-Friendly, Practical, and Easy to Plan

The event is designed for families with children aged 4 and up and lasts for two hours. Adults accompany the children and participate free of charge. Weather-appropriate clothing is part of the preparation, as the experience takes place outdoors in a natural environment. The regular participant fee is 13 euros per child.

Organization with Educational Profile

The event will be led by Annemarie Rutkowski, a biology teacher and environmental educator at the Nature Conservation and Youth Center Wartaweil, together with VHS StarnbergAmmersee as a cooperation partner. This combination of expertise, regional ties, and child-friendly target group communication makes the afternoon particularly valuable.

Conclusion: An Afternoon That Makes Nature Tangible

The New Forest Marble Run! offers families a creative outing at Lake Ammersee, where nature, movement, and joint tinkering come together. Those looking for a lively event experience in the green should not miss this date in Herrsching.
