Even if it has been more than 10 years since Storm Kyrill hit the forest, the traces of the devastation can still be clearly seen ...
But it is at least as interesting to see how a new biotope has developed since then ...

When hurricane "Kyrill" swept through Germany in January 2007, trees were uprooted and bent like matches. In order to make this natural event tangible in an educational way, the city of Kastellaun and the Rhineland-Palatinate Forestry Department invite young and old visitors to the forest to safely walk a 1.5-hectare spruce storm thrown area.

In the middle of the city forest you can experience on your way along the wooden, 830m long "Kyrill-Path" how nature regenerates, flora and fauna adapt and change - and dead wood creates new life.

The path is freely accessible all year round (not accessible when there is ice and snow)

Kyrill path Kastellaun

Dear forest visitors, the city of Kastellaun and Landesforsten Rheinland-Pfalz invite you to explore a forest area that was destroyed by the storm. Walk safely on the windthrow area - as the foresters call it - on an 800 meter long path. Get a close-up picture of the damage caused by the storm and learn more about the naturally emerging forest and the work of foresters. The approximately 1.5 hectare windthrow area was created on January 18, 2007 by storm Kyrill. The trees were only 58 years old. Usually the fallen trees are delimbed, the logs are driven out of the forest and sold to sawmills. Here, however, the city and the Kastellaun forestry office have made the decision to leave the area to nature and have created an exciting object for you to see. A total of two million cubic meters of wood (mainly spruce) fell victim to this storm in Rhineland-Palatinate alone. Part of it has to be preserved in so-called wet storage areas over the long term. It can only be sold when the sawmills need it again. In Rhineland-Palatinate alone, eleven people lost their lives as a result of direct storm effects. The financial damage amounts to 50 million euros. This sum does not include the future economic loss due to the early harvest of the fallen trees. Source: Text information board
