A forest full of history(ies) The mixed forest in the area of the town of Schortens was planted in 1535 and is today a popular local recreation area. But it is also a commercial forest. The Upjever Forest, founded around 1535 by Jever's ruler Fräulein Maria.

The hiking group of the Wilhelmshaven Alpine Club often goes from here to de Boers in Sandelermoens - a Bavarian inn with good snacks and a café...

Very beautiful forest path, when I drove the route the main route was closed due to tree felling work and I chose a side route that only experienced drivers should take.

Very nice paths. The direct route through the forest is the shorter connecting route to some of the nearby villages.
