The Allacher Forst is a remnant of the former Lohwaldgürtel in the north of Munich with over 1 km² area. In addition to old lime trees and oak trees, there are also sycamore maples, spruces, mountain elms, pines and ash trees. Numerous types of flowers bloom here in the spring - including lungwort, cowslip or wood anemone. In addition, there are more than 300 different types of mushrooms in the Allacher Forest. [1]
On the southern edge of the Allacher Forst in 1991, the Munich North marshalling yard was built - a large displacement and container station. This led to criticism from conservationists. 174 hectares of biotope area were destroyed. Here are on a 5 km long and 500 m wide area with 356 points and over 120 km of tracks up to 4000 railway cars handled every day. The Allacher Forst is now a so-rare riparian forest, that after massive protests from the population and the professional circles the A99 motorway ring Munich northwest in the so-called "tunnel Allach" the Allacher forest undercuts.
In it lies the landscape lake Allacher Lohe as well as a forest classroom.
The Allacher Forst is designated as a nature reserve (NSG-00573.01, WDPA ID: 318087) and the northwestern part as a landscape conservation area (LSG-00120.06, WDPA ID: 395563). Furthermore, the Allacher Forest together with the south located Angerlohe as Flora-Fauna-Habitat area (FFH area no. 7734-302) for the European biotope network to the European Union reported.
