    A great information house, especially for those who do not yet know the Höltigbaum. Here you will find information about the origin, development and goals - and of course also about the robust cattle that cross all over here.

      The "Wild Willow House" is a place of environmental education for day care centers, schools, families and adult groups. It is open on the weekend. Banks are ideal for a hiking break.

        "Wild Pasture" - What is it?
        The area's military past has resulted in a steppe-like landscape due to the lack of agricultural use, where a large number of endangered or endangered plant and animal species are concentrated. It is now necessary to protect and preserve them.

        The grass landscape is used in the sense of the concept of semi-open or open pasture landscapes, colloquially “wild pastures”.
        This is based on a landscape management concept that aims to prevent changes in the quality of the habitat through large-scale, extensive grazing, while still leaving enough space for the natural dynamic processes of landscape change. The requirements of species, biotope and environmental protection are to be met while at the same time permitting extensive agricultural use and commercial marketing.

        The aim is to create environmentally friendly, natural and cost-effective agricultural use and to preserve valuable habitats.
        Galloway cattle, Heidschnucken and Highland cattle, so-called robust breeds, graze on the Höltigbaum all year round and without additional feeding. Grazing keeps the areas open, forest cover is prevented and biological diversity is preserved.

        Detailed information on the concept of the open pasture landscape and the "Wild Willows Höltigbaum" project can be found in the accompanying scientific study, the test and development project "Half-open pasture landscape Höltigbaum". The study can be downloaded below (PDF).
