Natural Parks
Did you know that the Lüneburg Heath was designated a natural park as early as 1909? But not until the 50s did the idea of lasting protection of the countryside, as promoted by the Federation of National Parks in Germany (Verband Deutscher Naturparke e.V., VDN), meet with nationwide acceptance.
Cultural Heritage of Our Forests
Germany is a land of forests. 31 per cent of its area is covered with deciduous trees and conifers. For the people of central Europe forests have played an irreplaceable role as natural recreation areas, as multifaceted sanctuaries and as a sustainable economic factor from time immemorial. To make sure that people remain aware of the ecosystem, even in the smartphone age, Germany has launched the initiative “Discover the cultural heritage of our forests!”.
