NABU Forest Information Center Forsthaus Neuhaus

“Forsthaus Neuhaus” is a nature conservation project whose initiators are NABU Saarland e. V., the SaarForst State Office and the Saarland Ministry for the Environment. The core of the forester's house is the “Neuhaus Barn”, in which a “Center for Forest Culture” has been set up. In addition to forest and eco-educational exhibitions, guided tours and activities on a wide variety of ecological aspects are offered all year round. One focus of our work is the “Primeval Forest at the Gates of the City” project, which began in 1997 and was funded by the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU). Since then, there has been no forestry activity or landscape conservation measures on an area of around 1000 hectares. Nature can spread and develop as it suits it. Over the years, a primeval forest with new communities of animals and plants will emerge. The project is accompanied by rangers from the Saarland Nature Watch.

The exhibition can be admired all year round. There is a bookcase in the middle of the forest and space for lectures with benches and a “canopy”.

Beer garden. A break can be useful here.
