Now in spring 2024, Biodiversity Totentäli is blooming in full splendor, including wild garlic meadows. Ducks also enjoy the small ponds that are being created. Reclaiming nature still has potential. It will be exciting to see how it develops further...

Since November 23, the forest road through the Totentäli has no longer been accessible and has been closed. A beautiful new boardwalk leads through. New ponds for amphibians have been created - great!

A beautiful gorge with waterfalls, pools and rock faces. Should be one of the most famous meeting places in the area, but I had a few quiet minutes there during the autumn week.
