Fallen trees can be found along a path lined with Lesser Balsam, as this part of the forest is no longer managed. If you touch the ripe pods of balsam, they "explode". The "deadwood" of the trees forms the basis of life for a wealth of animal and plant species and thus ensures that the biodiversity of the moor is preserved. Deadwood provides a habitat and forms a habitat for insects in particular thus also the food base for the bird population in the bird sanctuary.
This highlight is part of the Natura Trail "Pfungstädter Düne" by NaturFreunde Hessen komoot.de/tour/1239694477

Hiking

Narrow paths with a mystical atmosphere in places.
Not suitable for strollers.

Hiking

Very nice to walk there, effectively mystical atmosphere as everything is quite overgrown. You should be sure-footed and have lots of roots on the trail, which also seems a bit adventurous, and is highly recommended.
