This site is part of the BFW project "Klimaforschungswald". The aim of this research project is to evaluate which tree species will fullfil the important tasks and functions of the forest ecosystem in the future. Furthermore, temperature and precipitation fluctuations in particular are to be documented in order to be able to map a possible trend and the influence of the growing vegetation. The climate research forest is also intended to be a communication and recreation forest for the population, which can be experienced through an educational trail with display boards.
