Wild Horse and Peacock-Goat Enclosure in Tennenloher Forst

Highlight • Natural

Przewalski's horses, the last truly wild horses in the world, have lived in the Tennenlohe Forest near Erlangen since 2003. Since 2012, they have been supported by peacock goats, a rare Swiss breed. Together, they ensure that the open sandy areas of the former military training ground do not become overgrown with shrubs – an important contribution to the preservation of rare habitats and biodiversity.

A well-marked circular trail leads directly alongside the enclosure. The starting point is the Turmberg car park. Information panels along the trail provide details about the animals and the history of the nature reserve. Please stay on the marked trails – straying off them poses a life-threatening danger due to remnants of military use.

Przewalski Horse Enclosure, Tennenloher Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

Since 2003, the valuable sandy habitats in the nature reserve "Tennenloher Forst" are grazed to preserve the valuable sandy grasslands and heaths.
Currently, Przewalski stallions from Hellabrunn Zoo and Nuremberg Zoo graze the area as well as peacock goats.
Przewalski horses are very frugal in the feed. You can feed on the sparse growth on the sandy areas throughout the year. The strong sunlight in summer and the cold in winter can not harm these robust animals. As a shelter, they use groups of trees that not only provide shade, but also protect the animals in harsh weather.

White Cross in Tennenloher Forst

Highlight • Monument

The meaning of the probably late medieval stone cross is unknown. It may be a weather or votive cross that was erected by workers in the numerous quarries in the Reichswald at the time. A figure of a saint may once have stood in the niche at the headboard. The trough probably served as a salt lick for the red deer that once lived in large numbers in the Nuremberg Reichswald. The name Hirschlecke, which is also commonly used for the Weiße Kreuz, is a reminder of this, although it can lead to confusion with the spring of the same name in the Buckenhofer forest.

The current location of the stone cross does not correspond to the original place of installation. First it stood about 590 meters further east at a no longer existing crossing of two forest paths (♁coordinates). In 1935 the Reichswehr set up a military training area there. In order to protect the cross from damage or complete destruction, it was moved for the first time in October 1941 on the initiative of the German Stone Cross Research Association. When the military training area was later used by the US Army, the memorial was moved again. After the troops withdrew in 1993 and military use of the site ended, the White Cross was erected at its current location.

Przewalski Horses in Tennenloher Forest

Highlight • Natural

With a little luck you can watch the wild horses or the beautiful peacock goats. In addition, the sandy paths around the enclosure (cycling prohibited) are lovely.

Peacock goat pasture in the Tennenloher Forest

Highlight • Natural

Since 2012, peacock goats, a rare Swiss breed, have been grazing alongside Przewalski's horses in the area around the former firing range "Range 6" of the former US military training area. The aim is to prevent the open sandy areas from becoming overgrown with shrubs – especially by suppressing the late-flowering bird cherry, which the goats particularly enjoy eating 🌿.
