The former forester's house now serves as an exhibition space with information about the Saxon Switzerland National Park. The focus here is on the forest - from its natural changes to the ecological processes in the protected area. Visitors learn about the role played by the bark beetle, why the silver fir is particularly encouraged and what forest work in Hinterhermsdorf used to look like. The family-friendly exhibition is located on the grounds of the Waldhusche and can be ideally combined with a walk or hike.

The former forester's house now houses exhibition rooms with special information about the Saxon Switzerland National Park. Everything here revolves around the topic of forests and their natural changes. As a protected area, of course, there is no human intervention. All topics are exciting and family-friendly and will amaze even those who don't like museums.

Opening times:

April: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

May - September: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

October: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
