                The Birgeler Urwald Nature Reserve is one of the last remaining primeval forests in the region.

                With ancient beech oaks and a rich undergrowth of moss and ferns. Winding trails lead deep into the forest, where the gentle rustling of leaves and the song of birds create an almost magical atmosphere.

                The reserve is a haven for flora and fauna: from rare birds to small forest dwellers, everyone feels at home here.
