To summarise, Hainich National Park is an impressive example of how, through sensible use of former military sites and common efforts of those involved, excellent opportunities for both nature and people can be created in a region at the heart of Europe. The tanks have disappeared and now people can enjoy the play of nature and feel the power of nature which shapes this forest. Trees of all sizes, colourfully mixed, strange forms, mighty tree veterans, lying and standing deadwood, covered in mosses, lichen and mushrooms – a piece of prospective “primeval forest in the centre of Germany”.
