    Tips

    September 4, 2023

    Until the 1950s, the forest here was used as natural pasture for livestock. However, it was not cleared for this purpose, but was left to exist as a virgin forest.

    Today, wild horses ensure that plants that are not useful for the forest quickly disappear.

      The wild horses are in the fenced-in forest for a specific purpose: they are to eat the plants in the pasture, which the dry European heath prevents from growing.

        Until around 1950, the forest was still used in its historical form as a hut forest.
