Hiking through the Neuchâtel jungle

Southern Friesland is hiking country

Winding paths run through the Neuenburg jungle, the heart of the Frisian Wehde. Together they form a well-thought-out network of paths, which makes the green oasis between Zetel and Neuchâtel a popular excursion destination for nature lovers, athletes and those seeking relaxation. The impressive trees appear magical, sometimes even impenetrable. But thanks to the well-signposted “junction point system”, forest visitors can orientate themselves in the woods at any time and anywhere - without any maps or navigation device.

Our guests take away lasting impressions, especially on hikes in the Neuchâtel Forest. The Neuchâtel Primeval Forest has been a nature reserve for more than 100 years, where flora and fauna can develop without human influence. The old hunting lodge, in the middle of the jungle, is a beautiful and popular photo opportunity.

The former nature reserve “Neuenburger Urwald” (registration number: NSG WE 064) is part of the FFH area 009 “Neuenburger Holz”. The lower nature conservation authority of the Friesland district is responsible. According to the regulation, the size of the former nature reserve was 48.5 hectares.[1] In 2019, the area was incorporated into the newly designated “Neuenburger Holz” nature reserve.

The forest area was reduced to around 24 hectares due to firewood felling during the war and post-war years. In some areas, after this deforestation, conifers that were not native to the area were planted, but these have now been replaced by native stocks by the responsible forestry administration. The forest today consists largely of beech and oak trees.
