After hurricane Kyrill caused devastating forest damage in Central Europe in 2007, the national park administration decided not to remove the fallen trees up on the Falkenstein. True to the motto “let nature be nature”, the dead trees represent an important habitat for many animals and plants. Because some of the things that humans perceive as natural disasters are just a time of change for nature.

A part of the forest north of the Falkenstein was knocked over by the hurricane Kyrill in 2007 and the wood in the development zone of the national park was removed - in accordance with the legal transitional regulations until 2027. The windthrow has been completely worked up except for a small area. The Wind Throw Adventure Trail at 1275 meters gives an idea of how the area would develop without human intervention. Unfolded root plates, trunks and crowns offer a wide variety of small habitats. Information boards explain the natural dynamics that unfold here.
