    Hiking

    On this section of the trail you walk through a very special forest: the exotic forest. It owes its name to Heinrich Hogrebe, who had tree species that were atypical for the region planted here in the 1950s, most of whose seedlings he brought back from his own trips. This resulted in an initially unimaginable mixture of species from four different continents in the Buchholz forest. If you look closely, you can discover redwoods, gingko, Douglas firs and many more exotic species.
