Grumsiner Forst/Redernswalde

The Grumsiner Forst/Redernswalde is a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site located in the Brandenburg region of Germany. It is a lowland beech forest that thrives on glacial sands and clays, covering an area of approximately 590 hectares. The forest is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including the white-tailed eagle, black stork, and European tree frog. The forest's unique water chemistry supports rare flora and fauna, and its intact mires are home to rare plant species such as sundew and cotton sedge. The forest is also a great place for nature experiences, with interpretive trails, exhibitions, and guided walks available. Visitors can observe cranes and other bird species, and the forest is also home to wolves. The forest's high proportion of old-growth trees, pristine small water bodies, and intact peatlands make it an important ecosystem that provides many functions, including cooling the landscape, balancing temperature fluctuations, and improving air quality
