Hainich National Park

Day excursion 27 AUGUST

Covering an area of 130 km2, it is the largest contiguous deciduous forest area in Germany. The Hainich National Park is a famous UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to numerous animal species, including the wildcat (it is rarely seen - but maybe you will be lucky?).

Under the protection of a restricted military area, forests with beech as the dominant tree species were able to develop here for decades, as they would naturally occur over large areas in Central Europe without human influence.

An absolute highlight is the treetop trail, which provides a 360° panoramic view of the majestic forest.
