The nature park hiking trail leads, among other things, through the Aukrug nature park. At this point, a sign provides information about the Westerholz enclosure, a protected natural forest that belongs to the NSG "Natural forests in the Barlohe state forests". Trees grow in natural forests, storms, insect infestations and deer browsing have an effect without human intervention. Mainly beech forests thrive on the flat tops of the Hohe Geest. A special feature of the Westerholz enclosure is the rare Coral Beard (Hericium coralloides) in a part of the forest that has not been used for more than 30 years.
