    Hiking

    The Wohldorf Forest is the oldest forest district and has been a designated recreation area since 1770.

    The city acquired the area as early as the 13th century.

    In addition to riparian forests, there are ash, oak, maple, beech, and alder trees.

    The landscape is characterized by glacial moraines and is therefore hilly.

    Among the wildlife, 14 different bat species and 4 beetle species classified as "primeval forest relicts" have been discovered. These species are only found in particularly old forest stands.

    With a bit of luck, you might also spot otters, kingfishers, black woodpeckers, or woodcocks.

    The Wohldorfer Forest is Hamburg's largest closed deciduous forest and impresses with its rich tree population. It is part of a biotope network covering a total of 1,800 hectares in the northeast of the city and is connected there with the Duvenstedter Brook, Hansdorfer Brook and Ammersbek-Niederung nature reserves.
