Natural forest cell in Hambörn

In the local recreational area of Hambörn in Südergellersen, you will find a beautiful ensemble of a restored heathland and a mixed deciduous forest with 200-year-old beech trees. What is special about the forest is that it is a natural forest.

Natural forests are characterized by a near-natural tree species composition, stands of old trees, and a high proportion of deadwood. There is no management. The extraction of wood and other economic uses are prohibited. In this way a new wild forest is being created.
