    Hiking

    Pine trees used for turpentine production are quite common in the forest area between Bernsburg and Ruhlkirchen, especially on the Eulenberg.

    Old Turpentine Taps

    In the 1960s and early 1970s, resin was tapped from the pine trees here to produce turpentine oil for cosmetic and medicinal purposes.

    The trees probably won't stand much longer, as they are now reaching maturity for harvesting.
