BoggelReich
The Fog Gate leads into the mysterious realm of the Boggel. From their perspective, you can see the beech forest with different eyes and discover what is hidden. The Boggel movie is shown in the Boggel Cave.
ShadowForest
The backdrop is a walk-in silhouette that reflects the beauty and diversity of the structures of a beech forest. Ten stations provide information about the beech tree and its forest.
ForestStage
Films about the national park, beech forest and Boggel are shown regularly.
NetzWerk
The NABU (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union of Hesse) exhibition highlights the ecological importance of the national park for the region and for Hesse. Lynx, red deer, red kite, black woodpecker, eagle owl and forest bats provide impressive evidence of this.
SoilShow
The SDW (Schutzgemeinschaft Deutscher Wald) presents a walk-through section of the ground with hugely enlarged creatures of the underworld.
WildernessSchool
As a place of personal freedom and biological diversity, the beech forest wilderness is the focus of nature education. Groups can do handicrafts, experiments and research in the WildernessSchool's WerkRaum. The Classroom is a place for presentations, discussions and games. Reflection and meditation take place in the WildernessRoom.
