Shelter in the middle of the forest, good opportunity to take a short break

Here you can take a short break and linger or seek shelter in bad weather.

Great refuge on the Lippe-Saxon border

The air is different upstairs than downstairs :) If you're already in the Lemgoer Mark, you have to visit the Windelsteinhäuschen. Recharge your batteries for the rest of the way

"The Hutewald is a cultural-historical form of management with shepherds," explains the responsible district forester Heiko Gropp. Background: Hute forests were widespread in Germany from the end of the Middle Ages until the end of the 19th century as designated areas in which the inhabitants of the neighboring villages were allowed to graze pigs, sheep, cattle and goats. With the advent of planned forestry, the old rights were replaced by monetary payments, land swaps or annual allocations of so-called loose wood to the village population by the forest administration. Back to the Hutewald concept: Browsing undergrowth and young trees favored certain tree species, such as the oak in Taubenberg, which is why the typical sparse forest picture developed. This in turn should serve to protect species and provide habitat for light-loving insects and specific plant communities. Likewise the stag beetle or forest birds such as the middle woodpecker.
