Beautiful world forest!
It's worth visiting again to see the leaves coloring! 😄

Unlike usual, I didn't plan this round beforehand, but trusted that the Weltwald is reasonably well signposted, and so it was. And not only was the trail signage exemplary, the same applies to the explanations about the different tree species. Since we didn't walk all the trails today, I can well imagine coming back again (perhaps for the Indian Summer?).

Here in the World Forest there are trees from almost all over the world - from all over Europe, from North America as well as from the Middle East and Central Asia.

From the parking lot at the Hübichenstein, if the weather is nice and the sun is shining, you can go in via the Apalachenweg. A widely branched network …

Many had the same idea today, a visit to the WeltWald near Bad Grund. A worthwhile destination in autumn too.

Nice, short, wet Sunday afternoon round in the world (rain) forest Bad Grund...If the weather was sunny, the colorful, bright leaves would be a dream🤩
For the first time I was on the suspension bridge...
It was nice, especially with the final visit to the antique cafe with a delicious gooseberry meringue cake😋
