This naturally occurring, stable (unequal-aged) mixed forest, which also includes dead trees in the overall picture, offers a particularly large number of niches for various plant and animal species. The pedunculate oak birch forest, which is partly mixed with pine and juniper, is very important here.

Hiking

The forest in this inland dune area is very peculiar. But the forest has stopped the sand drifting from the dunes.
