The WaldWandelWeg shows over a distance of approx. 200 meters what the forest of the future could look like here. Numerous information boards provide information about the bark beetle as a natural inhabitant of the spruce mountain forest and its role in forest development.

The forest change path was laid out really well. Now in winter it is accessible, but the information boards have been dismantled.
