The lynx room, an exhibition installed in the hunting museum of the castle, showed award-winning pictures of free ranging lynx. The picture were taken in the German Bavarian Forest (fokusnatur.de) and were a treat to the children’s eyes. At the other stations, the 12 to 14 year old pupils were taught about lynx biology, science and the way of living of the elusive species. Finally, a barbecue was offered for lunch to everybody participating the lynxday – with roe deer sausages, of course. Just like a lynx.
