Smaller stands of deciduous forest are now a common element of the rural cultural landscape on the Lower Rhine. They are often relics of once larger contiguous forests. Most of the time they stock up on so-called unfavorable locations, which are not suitable for arable farming or grassland use due to their soil conditions (moisture or lack of nutrients). Oak forests like this one were mainly used for personal use for firewood production or for the production of furniture, equipment and pasture poles.

Since the oak grove is very light due to this rural use, the light-loving bracken can spread well here. The leaves of the bracken fern, which can grow to a height of 2 m, are light green in colour, filigree in shape and doubly pinnate. Its leaf surface is arched with curled leaf edges.
