The facility features a 'butterfly garden' that mimics the natural habitat of over 200 different species from tropical regions globally.
The indoor temperature is strictly climate-controlled to facilitate the survival of delicate species from the Amazon and Southeast Asia.
The onsite museum displays a collection of over 1,500 insects, representing a significant scientific catalog of regional and exotic biodiversity.
The glass-domed architecture of the flight hall is designed to maximize natural light intake for the plants and insects inside.
Educational exhibits explain the process of metamorphosis in detail, highlighting the physical changes occurring within the pupa.
Schmetterlingsfarm is one of Europe's largest butterfly enclosures, housing thousands of live butterflies within a 5,000 square meter tropical hall. The facility maintains a simulated tropical climate with high humidity and temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. It features an integrated museum showcasing a large collection of preserved insects, including rare beetles, spiders, and scorpions. Visitors walk along pathways through lush vegetation, allowing butterflies to fly freely around them. The attraction includes an information center detailing the life cycle of butterflies from egg to imago. A dedicated nursery area allows guests to observe the chrysalis stage and newborn insects emerging. The site is located in the Baltic Sea resort region of Trassenheide on the island of Usedom.
Near the central feeding stations, where butterflies congregate to drink nectar from fruit plates.
Wear layers, as the transition from the Baltic climate outside to the high-humidity tropical hall inside can be significant.
Avoid using strong perfumes or scented lotions, as these can interfere with butterfly behavior and may attract them to your skin.
Walk slowly and scan the ground and foliage; butterflies often rest on the pathways or lower leaves to warm their wings.
Do not wear bright colors like neon yellow or orange if you do not want the butterflies to land on your clothing, as they are attracted to these hues.
Open daily throughout the main tourism season; check official channels for winter closure periods.
Do not touch the butterflies or the plants, as the insects have extremely delicate wing scales.
