Sababurg Primeval Forest - In the realm of giant trees
The Sababurg Primeval Forest is the habitat of an extraordinary world of flora and fauna. In addition to the impressive, up to 600-year-old hat oaks, beeches, hornbeams, birches and bracken, which can be up to two meters high, grow here. Fallen or dead trees remain as dead wood in uncultivated forests.
With its bizarre formations of trees, roots and dead wood, the Sababurg primeval forest provides a backdrop for stories, myths and legends from the region. Giants and princesses are said to have lived here and can still be seen sometimes. The castle where Sleeping Beauty slept is also just a stroll away.
Three marked circular routes between 1.2 and 4 kilometers in length meander along narrow paths through the primeval forest. Wooden walkways cross sensitive areas and lead you to the most spectacular giant trees.
Sturdy shoes are recommended in every season.
