African savannah at the gates of Denmark On a hot summer's day with shimmering heat, you feel like you're in a different world in the northern part of the Schäferhaus foundation country.
At first glance, you think you've been transported to the savannah of Africa. If you look closely, however, you will find that the umbrella acacia is hawthorn. The wildebeest have no horns and are Galloways, and the supposed zebras only have a few stripes on their legs, they are Koniks.
But due to the previous history - no intensive agriculture, decades of military use and now more than ten years of grazing with Galloways and Koniks - a landscape has emerged that is very similar to that in southern Africa.
In both cases, the landscape is shaped by the grazing activity of the large herbivores, which create the habitat for a large number of species of flora and fauna.
