    Hiking

    In the middle of the forest, you'll come across this information panel about the Norway maple (Acer platanoides) – a quiet representative of our native deciduous forests. The tree can live up to 150 years and prefers nutrient-rich, calcareous soils.

    The panel provides fascinating details about its distribution, leaf shape, and wood use. If you walk attentively through the forest, you'll quickly recognize the typical pointed, five-petalled leaves.

    💡 Tip: Tree portraits like these invite you to experience your surroundings with a more alert eye – and turn your walk into a little journey of discovery.

    Hiking

    This information panel introduces the downy birch (Betula pubescens) – a rather inconspicuous but ecologically important tree that grows in damp, boggy areas. It grows up to 15 meters tall, is hardy, undemanding, and often shrub-like.

    The leaves, bark, and buds of the downy birch have a wide range of uses – in naturopathy as well as as valuable food for birds.

    💡 Tip: If you pass such panels in a damp forest, you're usually not far from the nearest pond or moor – keep your eyes open for rare plants and animals!
