Willow Grove and Stream in Kemnitzerhagen

Highlight • Forest

Pollarded willows have been around for many centuries. As willow trees are very prone to drifting, which is due to their often difficult location in river and stream floodplains, they were "cultivated" early on to obtain building and fuel material, as well as for fodder. The branches are cut every year or two. The rods were used to build fences ("garden" comes from the word "rod") and of course for basket weaving. An inexpensive and very sustainable natural material. The brushwood could heat the ovens and the leaves could be fed fresh or dried to goats, sheep and horses. It's a shame that this is only done very rarely anymore, because it would mean that the pollarded willows could be cared for better again. Today the material is piled up to rot. Burning is nonsense these days.

Forest trails in the Eldena Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

Absolutely natural paths. On the one hand, of course, it means very nice, on the other hand, the paths also correspond to the natural circumstances -> sometimes muddy, overgrown, etc. But that also makes the certain attraction.

Incredibly many ways here on which you can get lost ;)

Bierbach in the Eldena Nature Reserve

Highlight • River

The Bierbach is a stream in the Eldena nature reserve. It was drained just behind the Rehbruch forest area and only flows through the Hohen Graben.

Its name comes from the time when there was still a brewery in Eldena. The water needed for this was taken from the Koitenhäger Bach, which over time was given the name "Bierbach".
