The hornbeam forest is definitely worth a visit. Good information board with the creation and use of the facility.

The hornbeam forest is really worth a visit.

The head hornbeam forest dates from the time of the coppice economy. Back then, firewood was an important raw material. There was always a shortage of firewood, but also of grazing land for cattle. The solution was the use of head wood. The hornbeams were trimmed to a height of 2m so that cattle could graze under the trees without being able to bite the young shoots of the beeches. At the same time, there was enough firewood. The overgrown appearance was created by pruning the trees every 15-18 years.

At the same time, there was enough firewood. The overgrown appearance was created by pruning the trees every 15-18 years.

In the last century, firewood has become less and less important. The use of the stock has therefore been almost completely abandoned in recent decades. In 1995, the Landscape Conservation Association of the Landkreis Göttingen e.V. campaigned for the preservation of the trees and leased the area on a long-term basis in order to protect it from the threatened conversion into a high beech forest. Together with the Realgemeinde of Gieboldehausen, the hornbeams are used again in the usual rotation for meter wood production for fuel purposes.

The Gieboldehausen barbecue area offers space for around 100 people. For all those who do not have their own garden, but would still like to have a cozy barbecue with friends or family in summer, the Gieboldehausen barbecue area is the solution. The big advantage of the barbecue area: no neighbors. Here, a celebration can go late into the night and get a little louder. The barbecue area is also perfect for celebrations or children's birthday parties. The children can play and romp about as much as they want in the fresh air.
