🍂🌳 SUNDAY NATURE ESCAPE – UNESCO BEECH FOREST GRUMSIN
Let's escape the city for a Sunday and discover one of Brandenburg's most special natural treasures!
This time we're heading to Buchenwald Grumsin, located in the beautiful Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve, northeast of Berlin.
🌳 A LITTLE ABOUT GRUMSIN
The Grumsin Beech Forest has been part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage since 2011.
It's one of Europe's most impressive ancient beech forest areas. What makes this place so special is its unique landscape: old beech trees, small lakes, hidden ponds, wetlands and peaceful forest paths. The landscape was shaped by the last Ice Age and is home to many rare plants and animals.
It's a chance to experience a piece of Europe's original wilderness, right here in Brandenburg. 🌿
