The Waldweisen reading trail is a trail, a forest reading path, an art and culture project in the forests of the Hammer forest ranger station. Poetic texts about the forest can be found at reading stations. In addition to German and European literature, there are texts from distant lands and distant times.
The project was initiated and realised by media artist Wolfgang Georgsdorf, an Austrian who has lived in the nature park for many years. The idea is to emphasise the importance of the forest for the environment and society.
The trail, which starts and finishes at the Hammer forest ranger station, includes a large and a small circular trail, each marked with its own information boards. Hikers will find 50 reading posts along the 20 km route. The reading trail can be combined into tours of different lengths.
