I passed by there on August 18, 2025, on my tour "Hamburg Energy Networks on the Way Out." The Ohlsdorf Park Cemetery is worth a visit.

What is the Tarpenbekniederung? How do sounds arise? What animals can be found in the forests and in the Glasmoor? And how do bats orient themselves? These and many other questions are answered on the various themed trails. Or how about a detour to the gnome construction site? The themed trails offer a wide range of activities and are interesting for the whole family.
