Hiking

In the 1980s, "forest dieback" became a topic of public discussion. Acid rain and environmental pollution particularly threatened the widespread monocultures of spruce. This led to a reassessment of forestry practices and a desire for more resilient, near-natural forests. A reforestation program using European beech trees may have been initiated in this area.
