    Hiking

    The dead trees infested by the bark beetle are ghostly

    Hiking

    Bark beetles are resistant to the cold, because a bark beetle can survive down to minus 25 degrees Celsius. Many bark beetles overwinter in the ground cover and not even in the tree, so that they have no problem at all with the temperatures under a closed snow cover.
    The printer and the copperplate engraver are particularly dangerous, as they can cause large areas of spruce forests to die off.

    Hiking

    The book printer is the most dangerous pest. It attacks the trunk area in middle-aged to old spruce stands.
    The engraver, on the other hand, prefers thin-barked trunk parts in the crown area of older spruce trees and young plants.
