The dog walk is signposted. Follow the paw print markings.

The Dwergter Hunderunde (Dwergt Dog Run) is a varied, approximately two-kilometer-long loop through a beautiful forest. There are ten stations where you can do exercises with your dogs, such as seesaws, slaloms, balancing, climbing, and more. The dog course begins directly at the "Große Tredde" parking lot, diagonally across from the forest playground.

A beautiful place to stop for delicious coffee and cake

Unfortunately, the tree (it was a Douglas fir) didn't quite survive a storm and broke off further up. Making this wooden sculpture out of the rest was an absolutely brilliant idea!

Perhaps also important to know: Only biodegradable urns may be interred in the FriedWald. The ash capsule (also made of biodegradable material) from the crematorium is placed into such an urn. The FriedWald urn, which is predominantly used, decomposes within 1-5 years, depending on the soil conditions, and after just a few months, depending on the soil conditions, it will be so softened that, for example, reburial would no longer be possible. This means that after this period, the tree roots benefit from the minerals in the ashes. Thus, a part of the loved one is transferred into the tree.

If you're wondering what the yellow and blue ribbons around trees mean: blue ribbons are trees whose use as burial trees can be purchased by a family or institution. This is like a family plot, and you'll also find plaques on the trees: round, black ones with a CLP and a number. Behind these, you'll find two more plaques: one with a color code for the price and one indicating the number of burial plots that are POSSIBLE under the tree. This means that if, for example, you have a beech tree with a blue ribbon and behind the black tree number plaque is one with an 8, then up to 8 urns can be buried under that tree. Then there are the yellow ribbons, which are community trees. You can choose a spot under such a tree and then essentially have something like an "urn community" under the tree. Sometimes you'll see trees with name plates with many different names on them. These are burial trees where people have said: "I want a forest burial, and I don't care about the location!" There's also a "shooting star tree" here. Parents can bury their deceased (and cremated) babies there and only have to pay the burial costs, not the location.
