Hiking

Here you can see how the Thuringian State Office for Agriculture is testing sustainable methods to protect the mountain meadows in the Thuringian Forest. These include adapted mowing techniques and extensive grazing. This helps preserve rare plants such as the spring gentian. Furthermore, such meadows contribute to biodiversity and ensure drinking water supplies.
