The gate consists of 14 massive Douglas firs. Each is 20 meters long, weighs about one and a half tons and comes from the Brilon city forest. You feel tiny under the gate.

The gate is a memorial to the destructive power of nature - the reason was the devastation caused by Hurricane Kyrill in January 2007 - and to reconstruction and new beginnings. A community forest with 30 different tree species is being created here on an area of around 10 hectares. If you like, you can take part in the campaign with a small donation.
