National Park Guide
60 people are currently involved in the Hainich National Park as volunteer national park guides through the "Ehrensache Natur - Freiwillige in Parks" program.
They are trained as nature and landscape guides and are certified by the Hainich National Park. They support the full-time staff in guiding groups of visitors and in some cases also offer guided tours on specific topics. You will find a wide range of offers in the MITMACHEN program .
If you would like to book a guided tour with a national park guide, you can find and contact the right national park guide for you using the following table. Elka Komitova und Anne Marie Pries will be happy to guide you in English.
