Forest Experience Barn Taura

Experience the forest with all your senses - this is the motto of the Forest Experience Barn in the heath village of Taura, which welcomes children, young people and adults. Together with the forester, they go on a journey of discovery through the layers of the forest. The special attraction is a pine tree, complete with roots, trunk and crown, in the barn. The forest habitat can be explored from the root plate to the crown. The aim is to awaken an understanding of the processes in nature and to make the interrelationship between man and forest tangible for everyone. The forest is not only a habitat for numerous animal and plant species to be discovered, it also has an important significance for people who use it for hiking, cycling or other leisure activities.

Waltraude, the forest ant, is the mascot of the WaldErlebnisScheune and also the symbolic guide on the educational and adventure trail "Waldameisenstraße", an eventful route with various stations. Not only can you discover the forest ant and its impressive structures, but you can also learn how people used the forest in the past, what consequences this had for the forest and how this still affects the forest today.
