Tips

April 25, 2019

Hiking

The wolf garden was used in the 17th and 18th centuries for wolf hunting. In a fenced area baits were laid out. The attracted wolves initially had free access to the terrain. Once the entire pack was inside the facility, the hunters closed the fence and the wolves were driven into the pitfalls and killed there.

Hiking

In addition to the wolf's den on the path, there is a second natural wolf's den about 100m further into the forest. It's not really spectacular, but if you're already there, you can take a look at it. The path is signposted on the wooden fence.
