Here, very large areas on the forest floor are overgrown with amaryllis and wild garlic. Wonderful to look at when they are in bloom and to smell wild garlic too.

The Märzenbecher thrives on moist, nutrient-rich, at most moderately acidic clay and loam soils and is a moisture indicator. It grows in groups, but very rarely forms such large stands as in the Oder Forest. According to the Federal Species Protection Ordinance, it is particularly protected and according to the Red List as endangered. The whole plant is poisonous because of its alkaloid content.

German Unity Memorial Rottland

Highlight • Monument

On the 20th anniversary of the reunification (October 3, 2010) the Werlaburgdorfer inaugurated their German Unity Memorial on the Rottland. From here you have a very nice view of the Germans' "mountain of fate" - the Brocken 🏔.

View of the Harz and Brocken from Werlaburgdorf

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

In the foreground you can see the salt structures that make up the East Westphalian hilly landscape: in the east the Große and Kleine Fallstein, ahead of the Harly and on the western edge the elongated Salzgitter ridge. Behind it you can see the Harz low mountain range rising steeply on the northern edge, the rocks of which have been moved more than 1000 m upwards compared to the northern foreland. With its flat granite dome, the Brocken towers over the entire landscape as a landmark that can be seen from afar. The village of Werlaburgdorf can be seen in the foreground, behind it the site of the former Kaiserpfalz Werta, as well as the A391 and Gielde with the castle hill.
