Nationalpark Hainich

Urwald mitten in Deutschland

Der Hainich ist ein Höhenzug im Westen Thüringens im Städtedreieck von Eisenach, Bad Langensalza und Mühlhausen. Er ist mit 130 km2 Fläche das größte zusammenhängende Laubwaldgebiet Deutschlands. Sein Südteil (75 km2) wurde am 31. Dezember 1997 als Nationalpark ausgewiesen.

Der Hainich bietet ein Naturschauspiel der besonderen Art. Prächtige Laubbäume, von der Rotbuche dominiert, drängen ans Licht. Seltene Tiere ziehen ihre Jungen groß. Orchideen wachsen im Schatten dichter Baumkronen. Der Hainich ist Teil des Naturparks Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werratal.

Im Schutz eines militärischen Sperrgebiets konnten sich hier jahrzehntelang Wälder mit der Buche als prägende Baumart entwickeln, wie sie von Natur aus in Mitteleuropa ohne Einfluss des Menschen großflächig auftreten würden. Mit rund 50 km2 weist der Nationalpark die größte nutzungsfreie Laubwaldfläche Deutschlands auf. Hier wird die Natur sich selbst überlassen.

This short loop is the perfect complement to a trip into the treetops and to the National Park Center. Especially in spring, after the snowmelt or heavy rain, the nature trail reveals its most beautiful side.

At around three and a half kilometres, the short Eichenbergweg is a wonderful excursion for the whole family. You start at Thiemsburg and walk through a wonderfully wooded landscape with romantic small bridges. If you feel like it, you can also include the exciting treetop path in your tour.
