A mining area in the Gruiten area. The opponents of the dismantling occupied the trees, hung up the posters and demonstrated against the further dismantling.

The first occasion is finally the inspection tour through the Osterholz to the controversial, meanwhile cleared piece of forest. Unfortunately, we were not present at the protests against the felling of the trees.
The sight that awaits us soon after our start in Vohwinkel is always frightening.
We were now prepared for the horror of the cleared area; but not on the chaotic state of the surrounding forest, which teaches us to fear. Many fallen trees lie across, some have also brought down or injured their neighbors.
The paths churned up by heavy equipment, splintered wood everywhere; the dystopian atmosphere is enhanced by the view of the barren Osterholzer Bruch.
Shortly afterwards we have a different view of the mining area; see the line of heavy trucks piling up to the bottom of the quarry.
