Our Heldburg Forestry District comprises 12 forest districts and is also the southernmost forestry district in the Free State of Thuringia. The Heldburg region, the Gleichberge hills, and the castles of Straufhain and Heldburg are attractive destinations for forest visitors. Our district office in Heldburg is also worth seeing – a building steeped in forestry history. Our forestry district is characterized by extensive oak forests in the south – which is why the oak is the "characteristic tree species" of our district. North of the Werra River, for example around Hildburghausen, coniferous pine and spruce forests predominate, while the "Franconian Threshold" south of the Werra is characterized by beech-rich deciduous forests.
