There wasn't a waterfall at the moment, but the rocks there suddenly in the middle of the forest were noticeable.

The WPZ has marked four hiking trails and provided signage for the surrounding trees. Here's a PDF file: https://t1p.de/burgholz-wege . However, I prefer hiking with an app. Where can I find these four trails as GPX files?

The 100 non-native tree species are, of course, not "natural," but the clever and forward-looking creation of humans. The founder, Heinrich Hogrebe, had put in a lot of hard work. The successful growth of the introduced species has since proven that they are suitable replacements for threatened native species. As the accompanying research also discovered, native plants and animals are not disadvantaged in the process; on the contrary, they are enriched with new niches. In contrast, in the natural forest cells of Steinsieperhöh and Meersiepenkopf, where no human intervention takes place, one can see that beeches are displacing oaks. Unfortunately, it is precisely the beeches that die much faster in times of drought. Nature simply doesn't have foresight. If current living conditions dictate it, it would even create deserts... Insight: If we want to continue to have green forests in the future, human foresight, even if limited, can actively contribute to this. And we're probably also helped by some reviled neophytes like the hemp palm and the bluebell tree, which are trying to come here uninvited right now. Unless they're banned like in Switzerland.

But it is very dark.

A helpful tip for a hike in the arboretum is to read up on the different types of trees and plants that can be seen there beforehand. This way you can look for specific species and make the hike an exciting learning experience at the same time. Also pack sturdy shoes, as paths in arboretums are often unpaved or natural, and bring plenty of water and a small snack to recharge your batteries along the way.

The Burgholz Arboretum covers an area of around 250 hectares and is home to around 100 different deciduous and coniferous tree species from almost every continent. It is the largest cultivation area for exotic tree species in Germany. Here you have the opportunity to walk under impressive sequoias.

The giant sequoias have a very soft bark, which can be up to 50cm thick depending on the age of the tree. Since the bark does not burn, it is a very good fire protection.
