    Over a length of around 2.3 kilometers, visitors can learn interesting facts about the forest and its inhabitants at nine stations and also tackle small tasks. The locations were set up on the course of the former fitness trail.

      The Heessen forest
      The district of Hamm-Heessen got its name from the forest, because the original name "Hesnon" means bush forest. With its size of 441 hectares, the Heessen Forest covers 15.6% of the area of the Heessen district. The entire city of Hamm only has a forest area of 7%. In 1962 the city sold the forest to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and since then it has been a state forest. Oak, beech, ash and hornbeam characterize the area, which is accessible through a whole network of hiking trails.

        Very interesting for children to find out how old a tree can get and what kind of human history it has survived
