The beech forests in the "Forests between Iburg and Aschenhütte" protected area not only invite you to go on a hike in summer. They already show their best side in spring. Numerous herbaceous plants blossom from mid-April to mid-May. The forest floor then resembles a colorful patchwork quilt. The violet of the larkspur, the blue of the violet or the yellow of the cowslip compete with the white of the wild garlic and the wood anemone.
With the “Waldwelten” mobile phone app, you can listen to audio stories at 17 experience stations and immerse yourself in the magic of the forest. And with a bit of luck you will discover the black woodpecker, because only he is able to create a nest hole in healthy beeches. And since he always uses several caves and likes to move once in a while, he creates space for new tenants such as stock pigeons or bats.
