When will the Harz be densely forested again?
When I was little, 20 years ago, the Harz Mountains were like a fairytale forest, full of spruce trees…the stretch from Schierke to the Brocken…but over the last 10 years, it's become increasingly bare there…then there were the forest fires… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAkvExkGtjY In how many years will we be able to see trees there again?…In 100…
Nature conservation areas near Salzburg?
Good evening everyone🙂 I'm going to Salzburg for the day on December 26th and am wondering if there's a nature reserve nearby or on the way there (from southern Bavaria to Salzburg) that I'm allowed to enter for photography. I'd prefer one for birds, but other animals are welcome too. 🙂 Maybe someone lives there…
Is it allowed to park there?
Good bye, I plan to go for a short walk in the Thuringian Forest with two people on Saturday. The place is about 950m above sea level and there are just narrow mountain roads where there aren't really many parking spaces, which is a good thing. I looked on Google Maps to see where I…
Is it possible for a farmer to build a paddock in a nature reserve?
Are farmers allowed to build a paddock on a pasture in a nature reserve? We just did it, but we didn't know it was a nature reserve… someone just pointed it out to us. What could happen to us now? We compacted the ground with gravel and laid artificial turf and sand on top.

Missing person wanted – drove through forest path?
Hello, My best friend just received a message that his girlfriend has run away from home again. She's experiencing domestic violence there, and a police investigation is already underway.

I wanted to go stand up paddling on a designated canoe trail in a nature reserve?
Now I read that canoeing is allowed, but SUPing is prohibited. WTF? The route is about 3km long and has to be flat if I want to paddle the entire 16km route. Can I simply sit or kneel on the SUP to avoid this? Then it's no longer stand-up paddling. What penalties would I face?
Why does Fritz Meinecke keep coming up with the idea that it's okay to practice "survival" in nature reserves?
https://youtu.be/yat3JSRCLrs?si=ZuG8VnOYvVzfjTlM And then he has the nerve to upload it to YouTube and claim he didn't film the video in Germany?
How do I apply for a mobile shelter?
So how do you write something like that? The meadow is in a nature reserve, and the horses still need shelter, so they said we have to submit an application. How do you do that?
Spend the night in a hammock in Bavaria or Austria?
Hello, I'm currently planning my trip to Bavaria and Austria and have completely lost track. I just wanted to spend the night in a hammock somewhere, I don't really care where. But I can't find a single place where it's allowed. The rules vary everywhere. How can I be sure it's allowed where I want…
