The Haunstetter Forest is part of the Augsburg City Forest and extends south of Augsburg. This area is characterized by its diverse wetlands, streams and lakes, which provide ideal living conditions for the beaver (Castor fiber).

In recent decades, the beaver population in Bavaria, including the Haunstetter Forest, has recovered. The animals are known for their ability to shape the landscape by building dams and castles. These activities create new habitats for numerous other species and promote biodiversity.

Visitors to the Haunstetter Forest can discover traces of beaver activities, such as gnawed trees, beaver dams and castles. However, it is important not to disturb the animals and to respect their habitats. For those interested, the nearby beaver trail in Königsbrunn offers informative insights into the life and habits of beavers. This trail leads over a narrow wooden footbridge through the flooded alluvial forest, allowing you to follow the beaver's tracks on dry feet. Information boards along the path explain the animals' structure and lifestyle.

The presence of beavers in the Haunstetter Forest underlines the importance of this area as a valuable natural space and offers nature lovers the opportunity to experience these impressive landscape designers in their natural environment.
