Lorenz Berger, Forester for Future, is happy about the lush leafy roofs, filled lakes, dragonflies and frogs on the Grubenkopf. The city forest is currently recovering excellently. https://www.allgemeine-zeitung.de/lokales/bad-kreuznach/so-gruen-war-es-im-bad-kreuznacher-stadtwald-lange-nicht-mehr-3787909
