カーニンの天然記念物・トップ10

The Barther Oak had a rare fusion of its main trunk and a branch. This created an opening in the tree through which those seeking healing had to pass. A platform was mounted about three meters below the opening, accessible by a ladder. Because of the usually rapid healing, up to 50 crutches were said to have hung in the tree at one time. The oak's healing powers are believed to have faded by the second half of the 19th century. A shepherd had sent his lame dog through the hole, which was reserved for humans. The opening has also shrunk since then. It's easily missed from the path. It doesn't really stand out as a highlight. The path/road conditions are mediocre.

There's a combined ticket for adults for €8 for Crane Worlds and the Kranorama. The Kranorama is no longer free to visit...

Please do not use this observation platform during the resting periods in spring and autumn to give the cranes more peace and space. Instead, you can use the nearby observation points of the Kranorama.

In spring and fall, a visit to the Kranorama is definitely worthwhile. Visitors can expect a magnificent spectacle. Hundreds to thousands of cranes and geese gather in the meadows, calling, hooting, honking, and fluttering around, flying away and returning. There's also great information on the information boards and from the friendly rangers on hand.

the Kranorama is now closed in June

A few potholes, but otherwise it's pretty easy to drive. You won't find a place to take a break.

Wonderful oak - a place to pause and take a rest

A forest road - not very smooth, but easy to drive
