Forest of the Senses

In the insect hotel live many thousands of insects, such as bees, bumblebees, lacewings, earwigs, hay horses, woodlice, ladybugs, centipedes, red beetle. Various building materials offer them shelter opportunities. Another station asks about the weight of wood. Each species has a different density. With the same volume different woods have also different weight.

On the barefoot nature trail, test the feeling of the different materials with open and closed eyes and determine the approximate age of a tree by its circumference at the Chronologikum . If one measures the circumference of the tree with both arms and transmits this measure to a table, the possible age is readable. Special experiences from the life of a 100-year-old tree from the Buddenhagener forest and the extraction of the resin from the pine are further stations.
