Please stay on the paths in the nature reserve and make as little noise as possible!“Natural forest reserves fulfill research, nature conservation and environmental education tasks at the same time. The main concern is the study of the natural development of forest structure, soil, flora and fauna. [...]
In these areas undisturbed by human intervention, the 'primeval forests of tomorrow' are to emerge over many decades and centuries.
No wood may be felled or removed in natural forest reserves. Dead trees remain standing or lie there and gradually rot. Only the plants that sprout naturally grow there. This is how jungle structures gradually develop.”
