The Forest is Important to Us

Hik­ing con­nects us with nature and lets us expe­ri­ence the beau­ty of the for­est. But our for­est is changing. 

In the video “FOREST IN TRANSITION — Is the Harz For­est in Dan­ger?” you will learn what is cur­rent­ly hap­pen­ing to our for­est and why many trees are dying. It is impor­tant to be informed about these changes in order to pro­tect our forest. 

In addi­tion, with the video “FOREST ETIQUETTE — How to behave prop­er­ly in the for­est?” we would like to show you how you can help nature.

This for­est eti­quette gives valu­able tips on how to behave cor­rect­ly in the for­est and thus con­tribute to the preser­va­tion of our forests. Togeth­er we can pre­serve the beau­ty of the Harz Forest!
