Rewarding circuit in a city near but natural forest. Playground, game reserve, discovery stations in the forest with the hare Felix as a mascot .... Ideal for families with children. Also with public transport connection-perfect.

Pollarded beeches in the Kottenforst

Highlight • Natural Monument

The headbooks are witness to a historical forest management. For firewood, the trees were cut off at about 2m height. This meant that cattle driven into the forest could not eat the renewable shoots. The trees are absolutely worth seeing.

November 1, 2023,Kastanienallee – Wildgehege Runde von Ückesdorf

It was a great hike with different sections...sometimes in the forest, sometimes past the field and at the end there was a lot to see at the two game reserves.
