September 22, 2025, Alder Swamp in Hainich National Park

These ancient giant trees now serve as food for insects and fungi. The fungi decompose the lignin and cellulose they contain, and the perpetual cycle of growth and decay begins anew.

Stamp box no. 41 is located directly on the hiking trail and not exactly at the environmental education station. If you have children, you should definitely stop by here 😉

Forest as it once was, everything here remains as it was and is. A beautiful tree landscape, here mainly with alder trees.

A shelter located in the immediate vicinity of the fox farm and on the Hünenteichweg, with sayings that encourage reflection.

Only a few meters away from the hiking car park of the Fuchsfarm and yet a quiet and, especially in summer, shady place where you can linger for a while.

If you walk along the Hünenteichweg along the erosion ditch, you walk through dense beech forest. Especially in summer on hot days, you walk through shady leaf forest.
